Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but itβs school libraries where they are rampant β€οΈβπ©Ή
Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They canβt drive, often times the library isnβt in walking distance. Itβs not that their grown-ups donβt want them to be library kids.

I hadn't planned on joining Bluesky, but a scammer created the account @csoontornvat to impersonate me, so here I am. Here's a photo of my dog so you know it's really me. And if you could please report that other person, I'd appreciate it!
