America needs to stop eliminating librarian jobs — and stop firing librarians who refuse to purge books that a few parents dislike. Librarians don’t just shelve books and stamp library cards. They’re actually trained experts. They know what they’re doing when they pick the books they pick —and they work with teachers to provide important resources for their lessons. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Read real librarians’ stories and experiences in my book, “The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians,” coming in April. Here’s a sample: bit.ly/3v2KmfN

This weekend is my mom's birthday and I just won tickets for a concert she's been dying to go to. Thank you, @HITS961! 💜
