FReadom to Read

Two web site posts in a row about our Library becoming a Protected Space for our LGBTQIA+ kiddos. Why? Mainly because we are aggressively passionate about staying allies to our little ones. Also, the information is chock entire of alarming examples where mother and father, school districts, and communities are NOT supporting the flexibility to browse. The democratic freedom to give ALL young children the choice to uncover guides with no censorship or boundaries.

It boils my blood! Why does it seem to be like we’re likely backwards with FREADom to read through?

So, I preferred to give you (dear reader!) an illustration of our Pleasure Month ebook display screen, our checklist of Fiction books, and how we encourage it to our kiddos. Most of this article is copied from our Daring Faculty Library Web site, Instagram posts, &

what I shared through our Canvas neighborhood announcement.

One of my most revered Library mates, Laura C. Davies (Adore her!) who I achieved when I was keynoting the ASTE Tech Convention in Anchorage Alaska experienced this to say on my Instagram post:

lauracdavies  Commented:

“Sure! I have my individual classroom library, complete of diverse textbooks,
and for the initial time in my job I in fact puzzled if anyone
would complain about my range. I am going to maintain on bringing new
guides into my classroom mainly because learners who need to have books that inspire
inclusion know where they can obtain them.”

🏳️‍🌈One of my learners checked out a ebook from this show right after I finished environment it up and questioned – “Do my mother and father know what guides I check out out from right here?” To which I replied, “Nope. Not this calendar year. 

You have the ideal to examine what ever you want with entire perception of confidentiality. We would in no way out you. But Politics can improve points. “

Indeed, sadly, there are some college districts and states that want to notify mother and father of the guides they examine out!” HORROR!
