Here are some photos from last night’s candlelight vigil honoring the 21 victims of the Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde. Yesterday marked 2 years since one of the deadliest shootings in U.S. history.

We recently learned the Library's hometown zoo (National Zoo) will soon be home to giant pandas 🐼🐼 once again! It inspired us to look for panda content in our collections & we found these Works Progress Administration poster ads for the first panda exhibit at a U.S. zoo! 🧵

Sausalito / San Francisco might be the best place to read Galapagos! Video of sea lions for the laughs. Yay for summer reading!

I’ve just finished reading Jonathan Haidt’s bestselling new book THE ANXIOUS GENERATION. I think it may be the most important nonfiction book of the decade, and today I want to tell you why. 🧵

Just listened to They Came for the Schools on audiobook. It’s a heavy topic, but with Louisiana’s recent law requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms, it feels like it should be a must read or listen for public school advocates.

The Senior Officers wanted to take this time to thank Ms. Hardy and Ms. Muzquiz for all they do in our wonderful school. They work hard both inside and outside the classroom to ensure that every student feels seen and heard. We also love how much school spirit they bring! 💜
