The American Association of School Librarians national conference just so happened to be in St. Louis this week so it is needless to say that this librarian and her sign were very popular at the No Kings march.

The war between the states has been sparked. Let us all do what we can to prevent this spark from growing into a fire.
Hey ICE! Take your masks off, you cowards!
