This is not ok. This is censorship and oppression of diverse perspectives. ALL of our students need to see themselves represented in the books in our libraries. #FReadom

My illustrated novel in verse A Work in Progress has been officially “questioned” and will undergo a review before being allowed to be included in certain Florida school libraries. Experts in the area believe this is part of a new trend toward more soft- or self-censorship. 1/3

About 1.3% of US #teachers are Black men. Invite them into the profession. When you see them doing great things, tell them: “That’s what the best teachers do.” Help them shape the narrative of what dope #teaching looks like. Sharif El-Mekki at #ISTELive @CenterBlackEd

June is #RainbowBookMonth. At a time when books by & about LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC individuals are under siege & library workers are facing threats & harassment for serving these communities, celebrating LGBTQIA+ voices has never been more important. bit.ly/RainbowBookMonth #PrideMonth
This June, the American Library Association and libraries nationwide will celebrate Rainbow Book Month to highlight the authors and writings that reflect the lives and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. At a time when books by and about LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals are under siege and library workers are facing threats and harassment for serving these communities, Rainbow Book Month has never been more important. Libraries planning celebrations will find resources from ALA’s Rainbow Round Table to support important related celebrations and events such as book clubs, author events, and other activities that highlight LGBTQIA+ authors, books, and resources. If your library is experiencing challenges to materials and programs serving the LGBTQIA+ community, please contact the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom to report censorship and receive resources and free confidential support. Read with pride, in all of its colors. Illustration of book shelf with books of every color.

School libraries provide books that are mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors, reflecting the lived experiences and identities of students, providing a view into diverse cultures and experiences, and opening students' minds to new ideas and possibilities - Dr. R. Sims Bishop
