Twitter/X has been blocked by the TDSB so RHSA library will no longer be posting anything on this platform until further notice. Itโs been lovely sharing updates with you in the Twitter-verse. Farewell!

@librarian_elle I bought felt to put under it so it didnโt make so much noise. Also, Bananagrams has a great following. UNO as well, but that game gets a bit rowdy. Puzzles are great & promote conversation. I love seeing students interacting & not on their phones.

Iโd read an essay on male and female monologues in cinema.
I have a theory that because misogyny is real, the female monologue is an inherently more assertive act.
As in: itโs common to hear a man roar.
But, then you hear Julia Fiona Roberts.

@bogotomorrow @Anniekidder @ONLibraryAssoc My guess is youโre not genuinely interested in reading about the responsibilities of TLs, but here is a shorter, 8 page document from the TDSB: canadianschoollibraries.ca/wp-content/uplโฆ

@bogotomorrow @Anniekidder @ONLibraryAssoc There are definitely documents that define the role of TL.
You can find the documents here: llsop.canadianschoollibraries.ca

@Anniekidder @ONLibraryAssoc Having supportive administrators makes a huge difference in library staffing and budget decisions. Perhaps continue to put out studies on the correlation between staffed libraries and student success, as well as speak directly to principals regarding their importance.

@strombo Agree-especially after reading Democracy in Chains, Dark Money, and Raising Them Right. If you donโt know who is pulling the strings in US politics, read any or all of those.

From time to time, we hear people in western countries talk about the health of our democracies relative to other parts of the world. So itโs always a good reminder for everyone that it isnโt always an apples to apples comparisonโฆ We still have oligarchy, family, dynasties, and epic bullshitery weaving giant threads through our canvas.

This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

I meet and talk to so many people who believe that ALL school librarians do is check out books and put them back once kids return them. Here is just SOME of what they ACTUALLY do. And not on this list: foster a lifelong love of reading. And what could be more important than that?

Teaching young people about sexual health, control over their own bodies & healthy relationships is essential to democracy.
Teresa Wright@ReporterTeresa
During his speech, Holland stressed the importance of taking stigma out of talking about sex & sexuality and for people to start openly talking about the importance of pleasure in sex. Societal norms should be challenged to stop shaming people for consensual sexual experiences.
