"I tell students to always be interested in and question why people are afraid of things. Usually the things that everybody’s afraid of are things that we probably need the most, when it comes to information, when it comes to books being banned..." bit.ly/3CB0hlN

🎉Congratulations @EboniHenry1!!!

Thank you to the associations, committees, leadership, & advocacy groups I've been a part of since 2016. You've shaped my librarianship & personal practices infinitely. I'm deeply grateful to have served as board member on @dclalibrarians & @dcla_sls. Congrats to the new board!

Today is #NationalSchoolLibrarianDay, a time to honor and celebrate school librarians and their contributions to the DCPS community. "Being able to help students through life's many opportunities is the guiding principle of what we do." -Kevin Washburn, DCPS Library Programs

It’s nice up here. 💐 🐝

Legislation like this disenfranchises readers everywhere and limits the human right to read freely. Take a minute to make the call. @ALALibrary has made it easy to make your voice heard!
