Excited to try a new reading challenge this year. Kids who read in different genres can earn stickers/badges to show off. With enough, they’ll be an official Westport Genrenaut with a t-shirt to prove it. Thank you to @Foundation4SPS for helping us create a culture of reading!

The report found almost half of LGBTQ+ youth, including over half of transgender and gender expansive youth, reported feeling unsafe in at least one school setting - however - almost 9 in 10 LGBTQ+ youth reported that they usually or always feel safe in their school library.
LGBTQ+ youth are #InAttendance across the country's schools, and nearly 13,000 of them participated in our Youth Report, helping us better understand their experiences and challenges in areas of life including their health and home life. Learn more: https://t.co/MYtAkS675f 📲

An alarming 87% of classic video games released in the US are unavailable. Here’s why that matters. https://t.co/rV3aqLlZt0

Summer break means poolside reading…at least for the few minutes I can get out of the water while the boys eat some snacks.

The school board in Nixa, Missouri, will vote on the removal of a set of books in June. A total of 15 books have been challenged, three of which, one parent said, were not even in the high-school library: “They didn’t even check.”

In a small Missouri town, a campaign to remove literature from the high-school library forced members of the community to reckon with the meaning of “parents’ rights.”

The Daily Citizen published an astonishingly misinformed and inaccurate op-ed about SPS libraries on Friday. I wrote a response to try to set at least some of the record straight. https://t.co/fqcKAApTfX
