On the push to ban some children’s books, @levarburton tells #TheView, “I’ll be absolutely candid and honest. It’s embarrassing that we are banning books in this country; in this culture; in this day and age.”
“Read the books they’re banning. That’s where the good stuff is!”

The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

NAHS administration is going around today for #teacherappreciationweek with their Cart of Sunshine! What a nice way to end the week- snacks, candy, and water for teachers! @CCraig_NAHS @LaProfeSierra #teacherlife
On this last day of National Library Month I would be terribly remiss if I did not give a big shout out to our illustrious NAHS library media specialist/tech liaison. Thanks so much for co-planning, co-teaching, project/ research/resource sharing, etc.

New #library books made their way to NAHS today! When opened, a book on exploring the world via infographics included an entire page on different family structures. Way to represent diverse families! #read#bcpslms @CCraig_NAHS @LaProfeSierra @MrsGorton@BCPSLMP
