This Book is Dangerous by Ben Clanton. This picture book published by Tundra Books shows a border of shark teeth open so you are the perspective of the shark about to eat a scared blue jellyfish.

Early Closure of House Leaves IMLS Future Hanging; What This Means & What You Can Do The abrupt early recess in the House of Representatives means the future of IMLS funding remains a question mark. Use this time to act.

Just finished writing to NC Representatives Foxx and Edwards asking them to restore funding to libraries by restoring the .003% of the full federal budget that the IMLS receives. There's still hope if we let them know how we feel about libraries and museums.

Colorful image from an Instagram carousel that reads "we can still save the institute for museum and library services (IMLS)"

Over on Instagram, I made a handy and highly sharable carousel about how we can still save the Institute of Museum and Library Services, if you'd like to pass that to your friends, family, and networks there, too.

nb: it's "of" and not "for," but I'm not editing.

So grateful for the volunteers who make the school library run: my Library Minions (student assistants), parent volunteers, and TA's. Truly, they provide ideas & can-do energy. Let me also give a shout out to the leaders at #ncdpidtl and the leads in the county. Appreciate you! #SchoolLibraryMonth

I love my library space with its Makerspace and wall of windows looking out into nature. And bless the soul who decided all the shelving units should be on wheels so we can easily reconfigure the space. #schoollibrarymonth #ncslma #aasl

FYI, I collected links to what the IMLS funds in most of each of the US states and they're in here so you can know on a state and sometimes even local level what is going to be severely impacted very very soon.
