Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!

Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong πŸ’›

Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

I had a super fun time talking with Steve on the SLLN podcast! Barriers to access can, unfortunately, be common, but are there workarounds or alternative ways of providing support? Check out the episode for a few ideas! @aaslala.bsky.social #tasltn #mnpslibraries

List of 400 purged library books is circulating among Tennessee school districts One Tennessee district’s list of books removed from its school libraries under a state law is being used by other districts as a guide.

β€œEach community was to define what is considered age-appropriate based on local standards.”

Determining local community standards aren’t determined by sharing lists across the state!

A benefit of our public library and school district shared system is prepubs! MNPS librarians are enjoying a preview of "hot titles" for this semester. These will be in our school libraries for students on the day they're released! Thank you #limitlesslibraries! #mnpsreads #mnpslibraries

If you love The Hazardous Tales, you'll love seeing the tales from American history that @nathanhale.bsky.social draws live! Attendees at #taslcon23 enjoyed a presentation on Garfield and Lewis & Clark!

"Read, Watch, Write, Reflect," led by Mary Davis. A consistent library day structure supports routines and allows for topic exploration connected to curriculum standards. What a great example of how librarians are instructional partners! #taslcon23 #mnpsreads

Hello! Thanks to @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social and @mreilly.bsky.social for the code! As head of libraries for a school district, I'm in schools a lot. Yesterday, I visited a Literati book fair, a middle school book club with author Julian Vaca, and a made a recording for our podcast. #schoollibraries
