CPS and the mayor like to talk about equity and trust, yet on a good day, we only have four school libraries on the West Side. Four.

@uft NYCSLA would like to invite Michael Mulgrew to sit down and speak to some of his members about the important work school librarians do. @NYCSchools @NYCDOEOLS @DOEChancellor @nyla_ssl

NYCSLA is proud of what school librarians do. We will be tweeting to acknowledge all of the hard work that goes into being a school librarian. We are not keepers of the books but the leaders in learning. Please retweet to give school librarians the recognition they deserve.

@Boss_Librarian That’s the plan! Thanks for setting the great example for us!

These losses are magnified during a period of remote instruction w/leadership lost for teachers & students around issues of information discovery & evaluation, technology use, digital citizenship, and understanding of digital divide issues & educational inequality @ChiSLibrarians

School libraries are essential for comprehensive education - here are just a few of the 100 things students miss without a library at school. See the whole list and more school library advocacy resources: ala.org/aasl/advocacy/… #NLLD2020 @aasl

"There's a good chance the coolest person in the building works where the books are." #youknowit #schoollibrarymonth @JasonReynolds83

All Chicago Public Library locations are now CLOSED. Don't forget that chipublib.org has tons of online content to keep you amused and engaged while you shelter in place. Stay tuned for more!

@chipublib @MsHlousek We love the ecard! What a great and safe way to access resources. Now respect your staff and the public’s safety and CLOSE YOUR DOORS. @chicagosmayor

Wishing you had a library card right about now? 😥 You're in luck! If you're a Chicago resident who has never had a Chicago Public Library card and wants to utilize our online resources, apply for an e-card: #ecards" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">chipublib.org/faq/library-ca…

School librarians are a necessity, not a luxury. We stand with school librarians in DC fighting for the support they need to serve their students, because schools need librarians, full stop. #DCPSNeedsLibrarians washingtonpost.com/local/educatio…

I wasn’t a reader as a kid in part because my local library was ALWAYS closed. No school librarians either. Every DCPS student deserves a well stocked school library and a full time certified school librarian. #DCPSNeedsLibrarians #DCPSSchoolLibraries #tlchat #DCPSProgressPride

Chicago & Philadelphia have one thing in common: savage inequality in access to public school libraries & loss of opportunity for critical student learning across an array of print & digital literacy skills @ChiSLibrarians @ILRaiseYourHand @PhillyInquirer inquirer.com/columnists/lib…

Librarians are not an expense...they are an INVESTMENT and directly tied to student achievement. nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/lib…

I have the #bestjob Just previewed potential nominees for our state's award list. Time to return to @chipublib #monarchawards @ Conrad Sulzer Regional Library instagram.com/p/B474dRYl-_d/…

The CTU contract vote may be over, but the fight continues to connect CPS students with the best education, including librarians. #cpsneedslibrarians @CPSuccessCHI ctulocal1.org/chicago-union-…

A reality that we need our national associations to more clearly recognize & help us to fight against: “More often than not, once a librarian is removed, so is a library.” #SaveSchoolLibrarians #CPSNeedsLibrarians @CTULocal1 @ChiSLibrarians #AASL19 ctulocal1.org/chicago-union-…
