We are particularly in need of middle grade and YA books to support the middle schools we are working with that have sadly burned down. In the same vein, we could use more graphic novels and (MS and HS appropriate) manga.

I wish that people who say libraries don't matter anymore could take a tour of ours right now. All of our computers are full, and the tables are full of people studying, while grandparents read Mo Willems book in the children's department. We haven't even been open an hour.

I'll never forget how book sales surged during the pandemic when businesses closed and everyone was stuck indoors, and I'm convinced that many people who would love to read more are unable because our culture of constant busyness makes it insanely hard to.

Proud to be one of the 700.
Very proud to join over 700 writers in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz. There's too much on the line to sit this election out. Take action today at https://t.co/FHIjeYpfsY. And folks, please make a plan to vote: https://t.co/T6Jt9BzODB

Y'all are tired of hearing me say it but he truly is our greatest living Shakespearian and I need EVERYONE to watch The Tragedy of Macbeth because it feels at times like the bard wrote what he did so that one day it could come out of this man's mouth.
Denzel Washington can still recite Shakespeare from when he played the role of Othello at age 22. (via @TheGNShow)
