Just in time for back to #school: deemed “essential” by Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA), “a great read” by School Library Journal, and “comprehensive” by Reference & User Services Quarterly, the new second edition is now in stock! Hilda K. Weisburg's guide is indispensable for school librarians. https://www.alastore.ala.org/lfsl2

I'm taking the opportunity offered by a colleague to start organizing my materials on AI.

Currently watching the Texas Education Agency discussion about vetoing proposed revisions to the school librarian certification process because *check notes* the certification refers to the patron's right to privacy and confidentiality.
Quote from the meeting - "As a parent, I do not want my child having this privacy and confidentiality in their library use." - Member Hickman

I totally agree that 13 is too young. But I teach teachers who don't even understand their requirements to not use items that restrict age. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-13-became-the-internets-age-of-adulthood-11560850201

@davidkaye Yes, it’s much more than limiting access to books. It’s everything you described—an overt, methodical effort to limit our freedom to think freely and discuss ideas freely. And, unless we fight back more vigorously, it will succeed.
Adding some hashtags to this. Hopefully some journalists on here will be inspired.

Helping people understand what it takes to be media and information-literate is a function of school and public libraries. And they are under threat.

@Julie I hope we can migrate here! Would love to see all #librarians here #schoollibrarians #academiclibrarians here

I’m annoyed that #fREADom people (that is, #FreedomtoRead), #librarians (especially #schoollibrarians), and our national and statewide #library organizations are still on #Twitter after this week’s debacle. What will it take?

@wendypalmer @bookstodon for a 12-year old who loves mysteries, #JamesPonti has the wonderful CITY SPIES series with a bunch of 13-ish-year old international spies. He might like WHEN YOU REACH ME by #RebeccaStead too, and ORPHANS OF THE TIDE by #StruanMurray also great (though contains some magic.) Maybe #librarians #schoollibrarians can suggest others?

I don’t understand why I have been able to connect with people on other Mastadon servers but not with someone who has given me their actual tag on the Mastadon newsie server
The search facility here is proving challenging. Am going to try a hashtag to see if I can be found #SchoolLibrarians
#schoollibrarians This is like a big conference where you are desperately looking for people you might know. It seems easier to find people with a hashtag rather than their mastadon tags
