Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

I believe so much in our organization & team here at the University of Arizona Libraries, that I’m happy to make this my first “real” tweet out. Come join us in beautiful Tucson, AZ. We are surrounded by mountain ranges and are just 60-ish miles from the US-Mexico Border.

And we're so excited to partner with @confluencenter! Come work with us.

Let it snow, let it snow. ❄️ Now through Dec. 22, Main and Weaver Libraries are open. We’ll be closed from Dec. 23-Jan. 2. See you in the new year! Enjoy the winter break like these two enjoyed the snow in 1971. 📷: Special Collections, University of Arizona Libraries

@KamalaHarris @JoeBiden 10 yo: his prayers were answered. 10: what are they going to do first? Me: what do you want them to do? 10: climate change and the kids. Me: What would you want to have them take care of first? 10: 🤔 10: Why can’t they do both?

@JoeBiden @KamalaHarris YEEEESSS!! Si se pudo!!!

YEEEESSS!! Si se pudo!!! My little guys was so happy. He asked what is the first thing he will do? Already thinking forward. Let’s reunite those babies with their mothers and fathers / families!
