President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk.

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️🩹
Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids.

It’s Kindness Week at school as organized by a wonderful K educator, her students and fellow team members. One featured act of kindness is to give compliments. This may be the best compliment I have ever received from a student. ❤️#Kindness

“Ontario has effectively reduced per-student funding by $1,500 since the 2018-19 fiscal year.
Today, classrooms across Ontario have 4,990 fewer educators.”
A manufactured crisis right out of the Con playbook.

Frustrated I am sick but grateful for easy access to a great walk in clinic this morning and supportive medication benefits to help me fight off my newly diagnosed sinus infection. Can’t wait to get back to school! ❤️🩹
