"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

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!

At the #InventTheFuture Celebration in January, clean water was a major topic of discussion. For #WorldWaterDay, we want to look back and highlight these brilliant innovations. ITF students created water purification solutions of all shapes and sizes!

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!
The House of Representatives this week votes on dangerous legislation that could bolster book-banning nationwide.
We need to take action and stand against censorship.
Join us - call your Rep & urge them to protect the freedom to read and vote NO on HR5: bit.ly/ProtectFreedom2Read
