I'm sorry....what?!
Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers!
At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why.
Whatever the reasonβ¦ thank you. We love you, we support you π

Thank you for sharing!
SUMMER AFTER After Gregory Pardlo The summer after 4th grade is the same summer I stumble in on my father watching Purple Rain for the first time and I didn't know who was on the TV as I knew his voice half as well and I didn't know any of the words and I didn't know my father could cry and I didn't know then that my father had lost his job and would not know for a year But here my father eager to hide his salt beneath his massive hands hands that are so much like a ship that has been loved through a storm or battle leather or anything shamed by its own softness until he is the man I had always known while I ask him What are you watching? he looks at me and I am small when he responds This boy lost his daddy too, but his daddy taught him the music, now he's playing to show his daddy how much he loves the music And I didn't have the teeth then to say I was sorry I was defined by many openings and still am but I knew how to run up the stairs and grab a stringless guitar by its throat and run down the stairs to strum air as I sat in his lap and turned my face from him so he could mouth all the words perfectly

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust by the forces of hate and bigotry.
Now more than ever, we cannot be silent in the face of evil. #NeverAgain
