Dr. King spread a message of justice and persisted in the face of hatred.

His legacy calls us to serve each other and to continue striving towards a more inclusive and united Minnesota.

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“š

Thank you libraries & library workersโ€ฆ for everything โœจ๐Ÿ’š

Anyone looking to ban a book from a school should have to prove they read it by presenting a book report to the school committee.

True for me! ALL of my history teachers were either football or basketball coaches. One literally taught from his notes in college and he had been teaching for at least 25 years.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kidsโ€™ section. Itโ€™s all such a gift.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.

One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like
