I have my degree, but live in a state that doesn’t value school librarians. I am desperately trying to fulfill my dream of becoming a school librarian

If you care about ALL children and the future of education, now might be a good time to consider running for a spot on your local school board.

I shared a video of a wonderful book, Shining Bright, Shining Black and this is the first comment. The video hasn’t even been up for 30 minutes. It’s the first day of Black History Month

If you have the Target Red Card you can call to have it cut off. They will ask why, and try to convince you not to. Tell them why they are recording it. 1-800-424-6888. You will need the last 4 digits of your card number.

I’m inviting you to no longer prioritize places that are actively engaging in behavior that works to oppress groups that have been marginalized. this is incredibly disappointing. We can spend our money in places that continue to uplift and support ALL people.

In a surprise to no one, libraries and time spent in libraries (with a certified librarian) prove beneficial to children!
Now if the rest of the nation would recognize the power of libraries, we’d be in a better place.
