School librarians are experts in books. Funny that I have to type this. They have advanced degrees, take professional development courses, get certifications. They vet books by reading themβ¦the ENTIRE book. Trust these experts. #BannedBooksWeek #Freadom

π§΅The most disheartening feeling as a librarian/educator is to sit in PD where "teacher incentives" are offered with the possibility of $15k lump-sum check, but be told you're a librarian, not considered a teacher. #1 why make me attend a mtg where my role is diminished? (1/3)

Ms. Black @NullMS_Library @SuperStallions understands the assignment. Libraries are lighthouses for literature being mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors. Way to go for highlighting modern diverse books that represent culture and all its facets. #MuralComingSoon

This is what lost access to literature looks like. The harms it causes are harder to see, but just as real: lack of representation, missed opportunities for empathy, lost occasion for teens to THINK for themselves. Not matching up to your mission statement, @LeanderISD.
