The same week that Nora Roberts made a donation to EveryLibrary Institute, her books were banned in schools in Florida!
Now she's challenging you to join her by participating in the #NoraRobertsChallenge by making a tax-deductible donation to fight against book bans and challenging your friends to do the same.
"I have always believed that libraries are essential to our society and the preservation of our democracy. They provide access to knowledge and ideas that are critical for personal and intellectual growth." -Nora Roberts

@jillrhudy @latimes This article could be even better if it had followed the #bookbanning #racist and #antiLGBTQ money (for groups, for attorneys, etc.) And as for suicide, in my experience it is much more of a pressing issue for youth who need to be supported in the face of homes, communities that deny their identities. Infuriating is right. I am on a very limited budget in retirement, but I'm contributing small amounts to #EveryLibrary https://www.everylibrary.org/

374 followers · 1107 posts · Server mastodon.ieOne thing to know re U.S. efforts to teach children about #misinformation: Librarians lead the efforts, create curriculum, co-teach with all levels, BUT school #libraries are under attack and are defunded. One way to contribute is to read more, speak up at school boards and city council meetings and contribute to #EveryLibrary https://www.everylibrary.org/
