Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!

Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛

Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Still trying to understand all of this but hi, I’m Brittany. I love books, just graduated with my masters in library science, planning a wedding, passionate about crab rangoon, and about to start my journey as a children’s librarian. (Not in that order? Or maybe exactly in that order?) 👋🏻

I went from graduating with my MLS and 0 job interviews to getting 3 interview offers in the span of 24 hours a week after graduation. So this is me begging for tips and advice for various library positions (public services librarian, assistant librarian -programming / children’s services). Thanks 😅
