Congratulations to @liveoakmedia.bsky.social !

Cody York needs to be removed from his position as chairman of the library board. He has made his biases well known and stacked the board with loyalists who blindly support his agenda. His actions are directly opposing our right to choose reading materials for our families. #IStandWithLuanne

Please help keep Rutherford County in the eyes of the media and the people. Tennessee has already been deemed as a "training ground" for actions like this and worse. This is government overreach and must be stopped. Call your representatives. Support your librarians. Read banned books!

Yay! This series is unique not only in the celebration of representation and inclusion, but in the story behind the creators and the nonprofits that help make them a reality. I'm beyond excited to spotlight these joyful shelf builders from @shoutmousepress.bsky.social

I’m so excited to present a sample of some of the outstanding #kidlit our small and independent publishers are bringing out this fall!

I called my mom twice while reading this book. The first was just incoherent sobs & she said, “I wondered when you would get to that part.” The second was a couple hours later when I finished, still sobbing, but in a different way. This book will truly touch your soul in so many ways.

This is such a fun series! I appreciate this even more after learning the inspo behind the protagonist's name.

This is so wonderful and will absolutely broaden the horizons for great opportunities with family read-alouds and classroom participation throughout our diverse country!

This is her side hustle. Those treats don’t buy themselves!
