Someone removed all the books from a Pride display at the Rohnert Park library. In solidarity with Sonoma County Library and with other local libraries that help users to #ReadwithPRIDE, I submitted this letter to the editor of the Press Democrat. My ground-rule when writing this letter: not to validate a campaign to remove the books, nor the organization spearheading it, through any mention of their names.

Read-aloud update, Summer 2022
Video: Read-aloud update, Summer 2022. Between “First-chapter Friday” previews of new and interesting books, as well as full-length read-alouds of stories in the public domain, I hope that my recordings encourage young listeners’ imagination and vocabulary.

SRCSA library : End-of-school-year video
Congratulations to our promoting eighth-graders for 2021-2022! School is out, but I’ve had end-of-school-year tasks to accomplish. I’m grateful to our school’s parents’ group for purchasing backstops for the library shelves.

Book-Talk : It Sounds Like This, by Anna Meriano
What happens when a high-school marching band’s entire low brass section is suspended? Yasmín Treviño and some of her bandmates volunteer to be part of a replacement low brass section in an effort to save their marching band. It Sounds Like This is a wonderfully representative book for characters with diverse identities and orientations, especially for asexuality.
