FReadom to Read

Two site posts in a row about our Library remaining a Risk-free Room for our LGBTQIA+ kiddos. Why? Since we’re aggressively passionate about remaining allies to our youngsters. Also, the information is chock comprehensive of alarming examples where mothers and fathers, university districts, and communities are NOT supporting the liberty to go through. The democratic flexibility to give ALL young children the choice to discover books devoid of censorship or barriers.

It boils my blood! Why does it feel like we’re heading backwards with FREADom to read through?

So, I needed to give you (pricey reader!) an example of our Delight Thirty day period e-book exhibit, our checklist of Fiction textbooks, and how we advertise it to our kiddos. Most of this article is copied from our Daring School Library Web site, Instagram posts, &

what I shared by our Canvas local community announcement.

1 of my most respected Library buddies, Laura C. Davies (Love her!) who I achieved when I was keynoting the ASTE Tech Meeting in Anchorage Alaska had this to say on my Instagram put up:

lauracdavies  Commented:

“Sure! I have my personal classroom library, comprehensive of various publications,
and for the initial time in my profession I in fact wondered if somebody
would complain about my collection. I am heading to maintain on bringing new
books into my classroom mainly because students who need to have textbooks that persuade
inclusion know the place they can find them.”

What do you feel?
