For @them, I compiled a queer syllabus that's in response to the recent wave of conservative book bans. LGBTQ creatives shared films, TV shows, books, and artworks that would be great for a high school class.

While on my girls trip last week we went to @MagicCityBooks and Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair by @JuneGervais was the first book I looked at in the shop. It had everything I craved:
✔️ cool cover
✔️ breaking the glass ceiling
✔️ feminism
✔️ Sapphic Romance
One more reason I love libraries & librarians: their genuine enthusiasm for being matchmakers between books & readers. 💕 Thank you so much, @CarnegieStout.
