You pull a book off the shelf, you don't buy "controversial" titles, you put restrictions on what books can be checked out. If these sound familiar, you might be ready for a self-censorship intervention. Join Mona Kerby for this live conversation on 3/15! bit.ly/SLCMarch2023

Wow. Powerful words from @ouidapowe about how her daughter struggled with her self image, & how important the school librarian's ability to find representation in books was. & how #SchoolLibrarians working with the school counselors can be a force for positive mental health.

. @imcraddock points out that book club groups can be powerful small group mental health support groups. Think about the diversity of your book groups - they can be a powerful force for increasing connections within the student body. #SLJSummit
