While I trust/rely on Pew, this graph from a recent survey (linked at the end of the thread) represents another great #infolit lesson for the #digitaldetectivesquad! Let's go!
It's true: the data in this graph show that (of those Pew surveyed), more people read print books... š§µ

I donāt know who needs to hear this, but weāre still in a pandemic.
Itās ok if youāre not yet comfortable in crowds.
Itās ok if you say no to things.
Itās ok if you feel anxious.
Itās ok if you need to rest.
Your feelings are valid. And donāt let anyone convince you otherwise.

This is a before and after shot of what a single shelving unit in the libraryās Teen Space would look like if we removed every book with content that could offend someone. Out of 159 books, there are ten left on the shelves.
ALT Side by side photos of library shelves. The shelf on the left is full of books. The shelf of the right is almost empty.

I do equity & bias reviews for kids books & mostly I get hired to read for race & gender issues. But there is one area of representation that I flag in almost every book I review.
We need more fat people in kids books.
CW: fatphobia & body shaming
