Rest in Peace, dear Dolly!

Not Dolly!

The whole For Reading Addicts team is devastated.

This world has lost a precious person, we are all lost for words.

Beyond the imagination library, Dolly was such an integral part of my childhood memories. I am so incredibly sad today.

So happy the governor has defended the freedom to read for Massachusetts.

So incredibly proud that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts now has built-in protections for students, librarians, educators, and readers of all ages. The Freedom to Read Act lays out a clear process for reviewing library materials, ensuring students have continued free access to a wide range of perspectives and stories. After bipartisan passage in the House and the Senate, Governor Healey signed the bill into law today.

How very honored I am to be invited to the Franklin Public Library, our nation’s first public lending library, to witness the signing ceremony. I was among key legislators, brave librarians, leaders of community organizations, and several author pals.
