Deuxieme jour a Paris (Day 2): Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle, walking to a million shops and along the Seine, dinner with Sam Helmick and French librarians, espresso….a great day!

I am not sure what day it is because one minute it was night in Chicago and the next minute it was afternoon in Paris when we landed and then we hit the sidewalks walking until nightfall. @andreatrudeau.bsky.social is the best traveling buddy!

🚨FINDINGS FROM MY REPORTING🚨 CFNL is like a lot of Christian Nationalist groups, in that they seem homegrown, but really, they aren't. The founders of this group are connected. One prominent connection is Louisiana US House Rep Clay Higgins. He wants publicly funded church libraries. 🧵

Even if you think you know what's behind the attacks on #libraries in #Louisiana, read this report. It's all here - the connections, the influence peddling, the bullying of #librarians - with receipts. This wasn't genuine concern about book content; it was a coordinated, professional campaign.

People often ask me how they can help libraries. The 1st thing you can do, after getting your library card, is follow and read Kelly’s censorship news. Know the players and know the game. It’s the same all across the U.S. Knowledge is power. Then you will know where to start in your own community.

Some Livingston Parish officials have ties to a group known for bullying and intimidation. If they stand with people like that, can you really trust them to lead? This @antigravitymag.bsky.social article by @deecherrywriter.bsky.social digs into it. antigravitymagazine.com/wp-content/u...

🚨 NEW INVESTIGATION 🚨 “Soft targets” That’s how CFNL refers to institutions like library boards, because they are easy to takeover. And that’s what they’ve tried to do, and they’ve tried to do it quietly. So I’ve spent the last year investigating them. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/citi...

I found a millstone at Mount Vernon. I love spotting millstones bc they remind me NOT to be like the pro-censors who are full of hate and often tell those of us promoting intellectual freedom that God is going to drown us in the pits of hell with a millstone around our necks. Advocate with empathy.

"As a publisher, a parent, and a reader still astonished and in awe of what books can do, I’m deeply concerned, no exasperated, no, this occasion calls for a precise word, I am enraged about the rising tide of book bans [in libraries." Sarah Jessica Parker

If you care about libraries, and the stories they hold dear, you should be following Kelly. She’s been reporting what’s happening from the beginning and we are so blessed she has been.

School administrators can make or break a school library program. I am fortunate to have leaders who understand the value of the library.

Because access to books and libraries is life-giving and life-saving…because Dr. Carla Hayden was disrespected and should not have been fired…because the basis of any legitimate govt is freedom of speech and expression…be bold and lift our voices together. See you on May 31! ReadStrongAmerica.org
