Dan Kleinman @OccupyLibraries - American Library Association #PLA2026 is over today. It was sparsely attended.
During it, Carnegie Corporation announced it’s withdrawing its support for the Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction.
ALA is dying. Let it, as Kirk would say.
Defund ALA.

Dan Kleinman @OccupyLibraries - “I was called a ‘book banner’ among other things by the Democrats in the state house and their sycophants when I advocated for age-appropriate materials for children’s libraries, but I guess it's different when they do it.” #PLA2026 #librarians #FreedomToReadAct

Amy Rodrigues @AmyGansettRep - I cannot, nor will I ever, understand how a parent can weaponize and politicize the tragedy of losing a child. One would think a therapist and licensed social worker would know better. I honestly had to look up what “manosphere” means. Unreal.
Ironically, the same RI House Representatives (Spears, Caldwell, and Cotter) who voted last session (Freedom to Read Act) to protect graphic media, including books containing subject matter that relates to self-harm and ending one's existence, in children’s school and public libraries, are seeking to implement online restrictions for the same content. Make that make sense.
