Libraries are taking the lead in building book ecosystems between four organizations - Head Start (Tina Sanuook), Public/Tribal Library (Adam Lambert), School Library (Kim Cox), Tribal Leadership (Chief Snead). Making a better world one book and one child at a time. SJSU iSchool

Day 1 Day 1 in Barcelona for the iConference. An amazingly beautiful place. The Sagrada Familia designed by Antoni Gaudi had just exquisitely beautiful colors and architecture. I am representing the SJSU iSchool at several iConference meetings. SJSU iSchool

The iConference is going well. Many ideas and thoughts to ponder. Sandy Hirsh was a presenter. A question from the keynote address: what is the impact of AI on the use and value of theory and linkage to individual differences in intellectual background? SJSU iSchool

Great to run into one of our doctoral students Rebecca Penrose at the iConference in Barcelona. SJSU iSchool

Happy Library Week, CA! Here are some facts the GOP don't want you to know-- 2022 was the highest number of attempted book bans on record for the American Library Association. It was a 75% jump from 2021. Make no mistake--this is an organized effort. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-po…

As we celebrate National Library Week, let us applaud Gavin Newsom for his amazing leadership on behalf of California’s libraries.  He has consistently made them a priority in his state Budget and the SJSU iSchool and CLA thanks him.

Thanks to Gavin Newsom for his continuing support of books and the right for parents to decide (not other people) what their children will read. Free people read freely. Libraries will always honor that. SJSU iSchool American Library Association Little Free Library® #equity #diversity #inclusion
