BREAKING: Former Republican Senator from the swing state of Arizona, Jeff Flake, just announced he is endorsing Kamala Harris. This is huge. Retweet so all Americans see this.

BREAKING: In a terrifying and un-American moment, Donald Trump continues to reiterate his position that he will not defend our NATO allies should they be invaded by Russia. Retweet to make sure every American sees this and knows how dangerous Trump is.

“It’s a soft target, isn’t it? If you close libraries, nobody dies – that’s what they think. But what’s happening is it’s society who suffers and people who suffer.” Says Michael Rosen theguardian.com/books/article/…

BREAKING: Mike Pence has just announced that he cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump. Retweet to make sure every American sees this clip.

School libraries are more than books; they're gateways to knowledge! ✨ Let's appreciate the crucial role school libraries play in education. #QLDSchoolLibraries #KnowledgeGateway

"A library...makes possible meetings of mind & idea which are not limited by our normal boundaries of time, space, & social or economic level...The technical means of his encounter may be a record, a tape, a film, a print-out or -- most radical of all -- a book." (Douglas Knight)

"The librarian of today & tomorrow must have many technical & professional skills, but above all they must have skill with people. They are a teacher whose subject is learning itself, & their class has no limits on age, field of study, or degree of competence." (Douglas Knight)

Thank you @PhilipPullman! Here at the #GreatSchoolLibraries campaign we are working to ensure that all children have access to a school library and librarian. Librarians are not just experts in reading for pleasure but also-crucially-integral to schools’ educational purposes.

"The school librarian has a holistic view of the school’s academic principles & of its character & objectives. We defy convention & classification. We work across the school, across the curriculum & across departments" 💪 #EduTwitter #GreatSchoolLibraries consiliumeducation.com/itm/2023/10/26…

@denise_lombardo @GEDaley @JanineTimillero Congratulations Denise. You deserve it xx

Humbled to receive an ACEL NSW Leadership Award. I’ve had the privilege to work with and learn from some amazing educators since 1987 when I started, people who support me and are great collaborators and make me look good. Very lucky. ⁦@GEDaley⁩ ⁦@JanineTimillero⁩

Recreational reading. Reading for learning. Reading for life. The school library & school librarian has a vital role to play in supporting pupils to read. @ClareBrumpton & @Elizabethutch look at how they can do this: bit.ly/3RwnACl #Libraries #librarians
