In this 🧵, we’re sharing testimonials from librarians and educators who have received WNDB’s Educator Grants to show how growing libraries has enriched countless schools across the nation!

You read Audiobooks.
Audiobooks are read.
Reading does not occur in the eyeballs.
Reading occurs in the brain.
People can use their eyeballs to read.
People can use their fingers to read.
People can use their ears to read.
It’s all reading!
Any definition otherwise is ableist.

Mackin's version of the Read Sea 📚🌊

These books are eagerly waiting to be shipped to #schools and #libraries around the world! 🌎

LeVar Burton, actor and longtime host of 'Reading Rainbow,' made an appearance on the 'Jimmy Kimmel Show' recently to speak out against book bans, doing so in the form of a spoof of his beloved reading show called “Banned Book Rainbow.” #bannedbooks bit.ly/3I41cOo

“We already live in a system where a parent has the ability to limit what their child does or doesn’t read...A small number of people, if they had their way, would dictate what the rest of us and our children could choose to read. And that’s un-American.” newjerseymonitor.com/2024/02/15/new…

Help protect the right to read & stop harassment of librarians!
