The things the fire skips, that embers don’t fall on… like this Little Free Library that was in front of a home on Lewis Ave in Altadena.

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.

How many people does it take to get a book banned from a library? Ten? Fifty? The majority of the affected community?
One.
Book banning is NOT a movement. It's an attack.

At swim class listening to some K parents talk about reading. Their kids are hating it because they aren’t allowed to touch books they can’t decode. 2 kids at 2 diff schools. I wish the SoR people would believe that this is actually happening and destroying the love of reading.
Fantastic K-3 nonfiction readaloud for #WomensHistoryMonth Brenda Berkman was the 1st female firefighter for the FDNY. The backmatter tells us that after her career as firefighter she went on to make art: brendaberkmanartworks.com/on… #picturebooks #picturebookbiographies

There are some hefty accusations out there against me, so for the record: Of course I don’t want porn in schools. No one wants porn in schools. I agree, Not all materials are appropriate for all ages or all kids. That’s why we as parents can decide what’s best for OUR kids.
