#txla 24 #txla

We need your wisdom in our #TXLA24 session tomorrow! Join us for Hive Mind - we'll be using our collective brains to pull together the best practices for promoting intellectual freedom and fighting censorship.

Well deserved!

Looking forward to this, Austin!

Andrea is a powerhouse who is so community connected- such an asset! Irving ISD Andrea Keller #txla #TXLA24

Board member on this panel said TASB did analysis of the March primaries and only 20% of educators voted. And this when we are facing so much censorship. This is a call to vote in your May school board elections!!! #txla24

School board members are trustees of employees too so don’t be afraid to approach them to tell your library story. Help build a common language. Lucy Ibarra Podmore

Getting ready for our Advocacy and community session at #txla24 BookPeople📚 Texas Library Assn. Carolyn Foote

Thank you to BookPeople📚 in Austin, TX, for pairing A Work in Progress with Starfish — I’m always wildly honored to see it. And thank you to Carolyn Foote for this pic! The paperback edition of A Work in Progress hits shelves in just three weeks!

Wonder if an email I got from Austin Public Library to renew my card is real?

Looking forward to our panel tomorrow morning at #Txla with author Chris Barton, librarian Lucy Podmore, bookseller Charley Rejsek and the@FReadomFighters !

Houston Press reporting on more brave Texans fighting for the freedom to read. And they’re sharing some hugely important data about book challenges in Conroe ISD houstonpress.com/news/over-two-…

We hope #txla attendees will be asking good questions about this service. We also wonder - are districts being charged per person in the district, or only for the parents who actually sign up for the service? Hope our #TCEA friends ask these questions, too.

Evidently Llano Tx parents are receiving this from BookMarkED. We have lots of questions. Like - can't your library software do this already? Also, how can parental approval of a child's 'checkout request' happen in real time while a child is standing at the checkout desk?

Arrival at TLA good but bittersweet. Simultaneously found out a close relative has suddenly been put in hospice care and now I’m out of town. If I seem distracted the next two days that’s why.
