โThe first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians โbecause these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.โ

Yes, thereโs a LOT of play in this libraryโbut guess what? Kids want to read when they arenโt forced to. ๐โจ When reading is a choice, not a chore, it becomes joyful. Let kids explore, play, and discover stories on their termsโyouโll be amazed. ๐

Just sat in on a terrific (and packed!) @americanbookseller.bsky.social Winter Institute panel called "Engaging the In-Between: Combatting the Middle Grade Reading Crisis" & want to share some highlights & thoughts. (thread)

School librarians improve literacy outcomes. It is time that we stop thinking of school libraries as a luxury or an outdated, quiet room. All schools need a school library staffed by a certified school librarian. #TLSky #skybrarian www.americanprogress.org/article/inve...

Re-upping this. We need experts in media literacy & stewards of the freedom to read now more than ever.

Yes to all of this. In particular, I love @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's transparency around how his view of audiobooks + reading has evolved over time. That's called learning. And our world needs more people who are willing, eager even, to have their views changed by new/better information.

School librarians are in need of our love, compassion, and support. Many of them are fighting the good fight and arenโt recognized enough for it. They are under-valued in some communities and over-threatened in others. This is the time to show them our appreciation
I added this slide to tomorrow's presentation at the Wisconsin Reading Association's annual conference. The full interview with two-time Newbery Medalist @erinentrada.bsky.social will be on my blog tomorrow mrschureads.com.
