Loved celebrating fellow #Oklahoma authors at #2025OKBookAwards - including three Cherokee women winners❣️ I asked kidlit finalists to sign books I donated at my last school visit yesterday. All kids got a copy of Otsaliheliga. I made it home just before the bad storms - and dalala visited! #grateful

"We must prevent that divide from growing wider and let our Congress members know that library hotspot lending empowers our communities to learn, live, and prosper—whether they’re freshmen, families, or farmers."

A digital art graphic with the phrase Libraries are for Everyone with the words “libraries” and “everyone” in Pride colors and in retro zine block text. There are a brown silhouette of a girl and black silhouette of a boy reading. At the top in smaller letters is SAVE OUR LIBRARIES.
Did you know #IMLS is only a FRACTION of the federal budget at .0046% of the total budget.
Libraries have an average Return on Investment of $4-5 dollars for every tax dollar spent.
Let your reps know!

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.
It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.

I'm always interested in nonfiction proposals for all age groups within kidlit, and science, math, and history will be even more important soon. #MSWL

In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!
Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE.
And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk.
See the problem here?
