#saveourlibraries — Public Fediverse posts

@BenjaminHCCarr This is such an important issue! 📚 Libraries have always been a cornerstone of knowledge and accessibility, and it’s concerning to see potential barriers to digital lending. We need to advocate for a future where everyone can access information freely! Let’s hope for a positive outcome that supports our libraries and their mission! 🙌 #SaveOurLibraries #DigitalAccess

Quote from the article:

""""
Cobb County, with 106,000 students, said Tuesday that 20 libraries had contained “Flamer” by Mike Curato or “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews, or both. “Flamer” is a graphic novel about a boy who is discovering he is gay and how he is treated at summer camp. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” contains some discussion of sex and a lot of profanity, but is mainly about two high school boys who befriend a girl dying of cancer. Both were among the most challenged books of 2022, according to a list published by the American Library Association.

One of the most important jobs of public schools is to teach children how to protect our democracy from religious zealots and fascists and others who use well known strategies to threaten all that is truly good in life, like love and compassion. And that's why these authoritarian types work overtime to dismantle public education.

Very proud of this one. The Barra Boy is now available in the 3 local libraries of my home town East Kilbride, and one is out on loan already 😀
