It is a significant moment for ALA, for the US, for children…
A deeply respectful thank you to those who brought this possibility forward, and to the task force, too. I will carry that moment when the board voted with me, always, as a tangible symbol of the potential for change.

I am deeply saddened about 1984 and revisionist history playing out in America. Where do we draw the line? #WalkAway

Really?
A few lines in a book, that were normal or expected with the time, were not acceptable to a few and you want to destroy the author one of the best series of books written by a strong woman.
How do people with such narrow-minded ideals get to decide what is best?
And these same people probably wonder why more money sent to education has done nothing but made our society less able.
