Some great library advice...




Not sure if you knew April was School Library Month, but nonetheless, Author Tom Angleberger (author of The Quickwik Papers and Origami Yoda) has a great quote!

A school library is like the Bat Cave (AASL)

Though, I may know some librarians who would love to wear a legitimate batsuit!

Here's another one that strikes a chord with me.  I'm not a fan of banning books...I feel like it is the parents' job to talk to their kids about things that may be in books and to help them censor their own literature, therefore, learning life lessons and morality, analyzing, and virtue.  Just because a book doesn't fit in a pretty mold making everyone happy doesn't mean it should be banned.  We don't shut our eyes to the reality of life, and literature only imitates life, so why should we ignore literature, but not society?
"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too." -Voltaire
