Libraries anchor communities by providing services for people of all ages and offering a safe space to learn, share and pursue their interests.
Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.
The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.
Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding.

#ThrowbackThursday @lynmillerlachmann.bsky.social’s words resonate more now than our 2023 interview for @cynleitichsmith.bsky.social's Cynsations. Since then, TORCH won the @latimes.com YAlit Book Prize.
Will we become an authoritarian state like TORCH?
Depends on what we do now.

Deciding you want to learn how to fly a plane is one thing. Raising the money and support to go to France to do it is another. But learning French in order to do so is next level. Cheers to the first Black woman who earned a license to fly! #Womenshistorymonth

Feel like this book is more relevant than ever right now.
We are getting a reminder of what the world was like before vaccines.

Excited to announce The No Brainer’s Guide to Decomposition is on the final ballot for the Stoker award from the Horror Writers Association! And I’m happy to see amigas Mary Averling and Eden Royce on the ballot as well because their books are amazing and you should read them. #kidlit #mglit #horror

Loved compiling the list of nominations as I watched my TBR list grow…
Hooray for the Cynsational Books of 2024! The list was compiled by me from nominations by Cynsations team members. (I didn't nominate.) Titles published by Heartdrum or authored/illustrated by Cynsations team members are ineligible. More info: cynthialeitichsmith.com/2024/12/cyns... #kidlit

I'm currently reading an advance copy of WHO OWNS THE MOON by @cylev.bsky.social and Jennifer Swanson, due out in January from Peachtree Publishing. Seems particularly relevant with the rise in space tourism. #kidlit #nonfiction #STEM
