Thanks to @GavinNewsom for his continuing support of books and the right for parents to decide (not other people) what their children will read. Free people read freely. Libraries will always honor that. @SJSUiSchool @ALALibrary @LtlFreeLibrary #equity #diversity #inclusion

As we celebrate National Library Week, let us applaud @GavinNewsom for his amazing leadership on behalf of California’s libraries.  He has consistently made them a priority in his state Budget and the SJSU iSchool and CLA thanks him.

Happy Library Week, CA! Here are some facts the @GOP don't want you to know-- 2022 was the highest number of attempted book bans on record for the American Library Association. It was a 75% jump from 2021. Make no mistake--this is an organized effort. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-po…

@GavinNewsom @GOP Thank you for your continued leadership and support of libraries. @NationReading @SJSUiSchool

SJSU MLK librarian @JonOakes unboxing the new IMLS grant funded mobile digitization station! @US_IMLS We are going to start capturing the stories of the community starting today and leave a walk-in station at the WoodenLegs library. @SJSUiSchool

The plant sharing library at Woodenlegs Library - community members share their plants with other community members to take! Amazing and beautiful. @SJSUiSchool #EarthDay2023 #northerncheyennetribe

Néá'êšemeno or we thank you to Gary LaFranier and Alfonzo Spang for an amazing tour and introduction to the Northern Cheyenne history and culture. We had the privilege of being part of a blessing ceremony over historical artifacts. @SJSUiSchool @NationReading

Gave a talk at 2023 WLA Conference on Library Technology Integration with XR Technology. Special thanks to my students - Irene Miller, Rosine Bingol, Tyler Livy, and Samantha Barnthouse for their hardwork. @SJSUiSchool #WLA2023 - via #Whova event app

Just landed in Seattle and headed to the Washington Library Association conference where my students and I have two presentations. Beautiful pics taken from the plane including snow covered Mt. Shasta from 30k feet! @SJSUiSchool #informationiseverything

Great to run into one of our doctoral students Rebecca Penrose at the iConference in Barcelona. @SJSUiSchool

The iConference is going well. Many ideas and thoughts to ponder. Sandy Hirsh was a presenter. A question from the keynote address: what is the impact of AI on the use and value of theory and linkage to individual differences in intellectual background? @SJSUiSchool

Day 1 Day 1 in Barcelona for the iConference. An amazingly beautiful place. The Sagrada Familia designed by Antoni Gaudi had just exquisitely beautiful colors and architecture. I am representing the SJSU iSchool at several iConference meetings. @SJSUiSchool

What a beautiful world we live in! Flew over the snow covered Rockies this morning on my way to the iConference in Barcelona, Spain. Stay tuned as the SJSU iSchool will be in the house! @SJSUiSchool @asist_org @iconf @SJSU @SJSUASIST

Thanks for all of the love and cuddles. Max our 16.4 year old dog has crossed the rainbow bridge. rainbowsbridge.com/poem.htm @SJSUiSchool @NationReading @ALALibrary

@james3neal @SJSUiSchool Thanks, James. We want to thank IMLS for believing in the vision of @NationReading @SJSUiSchool. Great things are happening and libraries are taking the lead and @US_IMLS has empowered us to go into tribal communities to offer our resources, expertise, and collaboration!

@anthonyschow @SJSUiSchool Appreciate your documenting your travels and good work.

Libraries are taking the lead in building book ecosystems between four organizations - Head Start (Tina Sanuook), Public/Tribal Library (Adam Lambert), School Library (Kim Cox), Tribal Leadership (Chief Snead). Making a better world one book and one child at a time. @SJSUiSchool

753! That's the number of books we disseminated in partnership with Qualla Boundary Public Library to Cherokee Elementary and the Head Start program in two days :)!! All new books and every child chose at least one. @SJSUiSchool @NationReading #buildingaloveofreading

My parents and I have committed $3k a year, which is $30,000 over 10 years, in new books to the EBCI's Head Start as a memorial to my aunt and uncle: The Vonne and Shih-Rong Wang Little Free Library. #strongertogether @SJSUiSchool @NationReading

Special thanks to Chief Snead for meeting with @NationReading to discuss early children's literacy and ways to get books into the hands of children in collaboration with Little Free Library, Head Start, @US_IMLS and @SJSUiSchool. @CherokeeOneFea

Day 2 is going great 👍. Thanks to our advisory committee members, the EBCI finance team, and Cherokee school librarian for being a part of @NationReading. @SJSUiSchool @US_IMLS @CherokeeOneFea @sophielamonica @LtlFreeLibrary
