I always explained to kids that preferences are not right or wrong, just different; that's what makes us all unique and interesting. It applies to so many things & builds empathy. Starting those conversations with toddlers could help combat bullying. So many of today's adults need those words too!

Most libraries no longer charge late fees. They never should have in the first place...it discourages people to come and scares them from coming back if they can't pay the fees. A much loved and cherished book can always be renewed!

Teachers need to make time to read aloud to kids every single day. Parents need to read aloud to kids every single day. No compromise. A picture book, a poem, a chapter...there are many picture books appropriate for upper elementary and middle school students that can be great conversation starters.

Embrace all that your Public Libraries have to offer! It should be one of their favorite places to go!

I would agree that a percentage of that 1/3 but not the majority. We may have to agree to disagree agree but even when there are candidates I won't vote for I show up and do a write in...

Wait! Perhaps they want to also consider piece work bonuses but in this case it's per human pay. Disgusting anyway you look at it.

Jobs in one's field at the same pay are harder to come by but other businesses like restaurants and supermarkets are struggling to find help. Schools are facing a substitute teaching shortages. Might be time to try something new and different while searching for something in your field.

Agree. I'm saddened when you try any type of discourse, posters go on the attack. We grow and learn when listening to opposing viewpoints. Most here are on the left side of politics and I'm thankful for that but we all have different lived experiences and expertise to share and debate with respect.

You really believe it was her stance on Gaza that made 1/3 of eligible voters stay home? You truly, really believe that is why the monster was elected over a WOMAN of BLACK and ASIAN heritage in 2024 America?

Listen to this...it's not just LA, this type of deployment can and will happen in other cities. Pat attention, know your rights to protest but go home when they show up. Don't give the news footage they are looking for...gives them the nothing!

The MAGA bubble hurts all Americans...let's focus on the damage that's being done medically, emotionally and financially.

"Real people with real families" includes all the Jan. 6th law enforcement officers that were injured, all the immigrants who have been disappeared without due cause, all the people on the verge of losing health care and SNAP benefits, all the gov't agency workers that have lost their jobs...

Let this be clear CBP: You cannot use a threat like this when YOUR President invoked an insurrection that injured 140 officers & killed one, Officer Brian Sicknick. He then pardoned nearly 1,600 individuals, more than 600 of whom were charged w/ the felony of assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

Reading some of the comments here reinforces that ignorance is still running rampant. Lets just be honest and admit that Kamala should be our President right now. You can't witness Trump's antics, bullying, policies, EOs, administration picks and still defend those who didn't vote.

Trump's Ego-Mania Parade is a complete embarrassment and a slap in the face to Americans who on the brink of losing their health benefits and SNAP benefits. It's also a total middle finger to all the government and agency workers who lost their jobs in the name of government efficiency. #ShitShow

That's why they want to defund IMLS. Who needs libraries and an informed citizenry when all you need are cliff notes and passages taken out of context?

Been saying it since 2021...stop spending your vacation money in Florida, stop holding Educational Conferences in Florida, start targeting Florida educators to fill teaching shortages in other states...Florida needs and depends on us to support their economy. Just stop!

Cult mentality and religious fanaticism has led to the fall of many societies. Never been a doomsday thinker but we are on the brink.

A totally incompetent administration has put our most vulnerable in grave danger of infectious diseases, lack of medical care and food insecurity. Their complete disregard and disrespect of medical & scientific experts should be regarded as nothing less than criminal and attempted mass murder.

Apparently she read less than a quarter of the bill she voted for that pretty much screwed the majority of her constituents. Dispicable human that is inept at her job.

His reasons for speaking out against the bill are definitely suspect but he's not wrong about the bill and those who voted for i.

Told my daughter from earlier on that you can love and want a man (recognize now I should have said partner!) but don't ever need one. Stay strong and self reliant & always be able to take care of yourself. Open, honest conversations grows successful young people who aren't afraid to actually adult!
