ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year. Show Up for Our Libraries, ALA American Library Association, #ForOurLibraries

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Trump Administration Calls for Elimination of Federal Agency that Funds Libraries. Photo of White House at night.

Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk.

It’s Kindness Week at school as organized by a wonderful K educator, her students and fellow team members. One featured act of kindness is to give compliments. This may be the best compliment I have ever received from a student. ❤️#Kindness

“Ontario has effectively reduced per-student funding by $1,500 since the 2018-19 fiscal year.

Today, classrooms across Ontario have 4,990 fewer educators.”

A manufactured crisis right out of the Con playbook.

Don’t give Doug 4 more years to keep destroying public ed.

Grateful to be at school all day today after a wonderful conference last week and fighting a wicked sinus infection this week! So many exciting things in the works!

Frustrated I am sick but grateful for easy access to a great walk in clinic this morning and supportive medication benefits to help me fight off my newly diagnosed sinus infection. Can’t wait to get back to school! ❤️‍🩹

How do we achieve the 3 foundations-Equity of access, robust funding, strong policy

The BIG THINK! Reflecting on how we can achieve the 3 foundations-equity of access, robust funding, strong policy #tmcanada2025

The personal gratitude is immense and important but so also is the call to action reminder for all school library professionals and supporters to protect children’s right to access materials and experiences that reflect each and every part of themselves. #TMCanada2025

I wanted to share my thoughts from my acceptance speech during the CSL awards event this weekend.
