Book bans are removal of access. Well friends - getting rid of librarians and libraries is schools is like ultimate book ban AND a critical part of the larger ways public Ed is being undermined.

What's your favorite bookstore you've visited while traveling?

“So if children are given opportunities to read many different things they’re going to develop discernment. They don’t have to believe every single thing they read, but they need different points of view.” wcjb.com/2024/04/21/ban…

Throwback to Taylor Swift in her READ era. (Sorry, you won't find this in #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment or in the ALA store, as it remains out of print evermore.)

You can give me 20 school vouchers...it doesn't matter. The only 'choice' I have is a Catholic School 56 miles away. There is no choice in rural America.

Stop the bullshit and fund our local public schools.

Raise your hand if you’re ready to prove DeSantis wrong this November! 🙋🏽‍♀️

Happy school librarian day to all my friends and followers from all of us at White Rose books & more you are important. You matter. You are valued.

In case no one else tells you today let me say, to all school librarians, HAPPY SCHOOL LIBRARIAN DAY!

You are providing very important labor to your communities, labor that is very difficult to provide right now for a SLEW of reasons. It matters! But so do you. I see you ❤️

Running an #indiebookstore is hard work. We have great deals on pre-loved books and tons of things even if you aren’t a reader.

For those of you with a Fourth Wing book hangover, I've rereleased my Scorched trilogy which is basically a new adult 'Terminator...but with dragons.' (Yes, New Dragon City wasn't my first foray into the dragon apocalypse!)

My hourly wages as a masters level librarian in the school district was $36 an hour and since teachers don’t work during the summer that came out to about half of the salary needed as a single adult

It’s a very rainy, chilly day and it’s perfect reading weather! Thank you John Schu Candlewick Press for sharing this with #BookPosse !

I love helping get diverse books into kids’ hands. Rep. Anna V. Eskamani 🔨 is gathering books so I made a registry of our favorite diverse books and you can help us send them directly to her to put in free little libraries #bookdrive #diversebooks #kidsneedbooks

Fated Mates talked about the importance of diverse books getting into the hands of kids & teens last night - here’s one way to help some kids in Florida 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I am trying to help Rep. Anna V. Eskamani 🔨 get books for her book drive so I created this registry link of my favorite diverse books for kids and teens. Books ship to the address in image and benefit my bookstore! #booksforkids WeNeedDiverseBooks bookshop.org/wishlists/0b2d…

Florida now has America’s WORST teacher shortage crisis after the far-right turned classrooms into political battlefields and handed schools over to book banning extremists.

We’re also 48th in teacher pay.

The legislature has been GOP-controlled for decades. They own this. 🗳️

Looking to finish the first round of revisions on my upcoming release, SPEAK EZ, today (releasing late 2024 from Bywater Books) and then participate in a group author signing tonight at White Rose books & more .

I can’t believe I even have to say this…

A TEACHER CAN TAKE THEIR PERSONAL DAYS WHENEVER THEY WANT AND THEY DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WHY THEY ARE TAKING THEM.

MLIS is one of my favorite accomplishments. This guy is “truly breathtaking”
