Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.
