Louisiana.

Louisiana's HB 777 would criminalize libraries or librarians who join the American Library Association with steep fines, jail time, or hard labor. It would also dismantle a state university's masters program.

This isn't a joke. Take action *now*.

Happiest of birthdays, my friend!!!🥳

Everyone join me in helping Derek celebrate by pre-ordering his latest YA novel, a queer dark academia based on a real secret society! 📚

You got arrested! The last character in your gallery is your lawyer.

In that case I'm solid considering he's *actually* a lawyer. 🤣

I was reading on a 6th-grade level when I was 5 years old. I can't even imagine what my life would've been like if my parents had restricted my reading to what they deemed 'appropriate' books.

Basically everyone in LA, lol. 📿

Y’all know the rule when this crosses the TL. I don’t make the rules.

MG/YA friends: Does anyone know if there's a 2024 debut group strictly for kidlit? I'm researching for next year's LBF invite list and find those groups useful. :)

(I see one here on Not-Twitter but it's MG-Adult.)

Had such a great time getting to host our amazing MG & YA lineup for this year!

Hope to see everyone back for our 20th(!!!) Festival next year!

Can't wait to see you tonight! 😁

Can't wait to see everyone there! 📚

Truth. Lol

So excited to see all of these wonderful authors (and more) at the LBF this weekend!

We have a full slate of authors for our teen and tween readers! The full schedule can be found here: bit.ly/4938jmB
