Welcome to Litsy!

The library world experienced a victory yesterday when the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted a temporary restraining order to block President Trump‘s dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The decision was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Library Association and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. https://bit.ly/43d0olu

I absolutely love this book. It took me a little bit to get through because life was life-ing, but it was worth it. I love how unapologetically Judge Brown Jackson is about her about her family her decisions just overall she stands 10 toes down and it is very evident in this book. Great read!

Spent my newest Audible credit on this one!❤️🎧📚

????? Named "Ketanji Onyika," meaning "Lovely One," based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents.

Happy weekend! Current and next reads on the Kindle. What are you reading?

Today‘s bookmail part 3/3 is the general purpose portion. A little for school and a little for my own education.

“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.”

This book would link to teaching in the classroom by introducing students to concepts of justice, equality, and the impact of individuals in shaping society, encouraging them to think critically about these themes in their own lives.

This picture book, published in 2019, is a biography that explores the life and accomplishments of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a pioneering figure in the fight for gender equality and women's rights. Awarded the 2020 New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, it highlights her legal battles against discrimination and her determination to ensure justice for all.

These are what I read and enjoyed for election season. Justice Brown Jackson was honest about the challenges she faced in her path to the Supreme Court, including how tough it was to balance a career with parenting. Something Lost … is an essay collection filled with HRC‘s political and personal experiences since 2016. And Thanks, Obama was a fun reread of one of my favorite Obama staffer memoirs. I put my early vote sticker on my Kindle cover!
