NC GOP bill would allow school librarians to be charged over books β€˜harmful to minors’ Legislation would create new rules for public school library books, including removing the exemption that kept school employees from being prosecuted.

Who remembers Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?

β€˜What are you in for? Drugs?’

β€˜No. Giving a kid a book about a superhero in underwear who saves cafeteria ladies from exploding toilets. What are you in for?’

β€˜Drugs.’

Plunder becomes purpose
the greedy exchange justice for
the jingle of coins in greasy palms,
empathy is flushed down
the gold-plated toilets of tyrants,
bread is stolen from families
barely surviving on crumbsβ€”
It's time for signs and peaceful protest
for change.

Trump is trying to gut libraries. Fight back with ALA. Show up for our libraries. ALA American Library Association

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.

The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.

Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding.

Tried several times to call my senator, Fetterman. Call goes through to a message and then hangs up. It will not allow you to leave a message on any of the other options either.
