We are always in need of new books, movies, etc. Our wishlist is listed below:

Book haul!
Yes, I've jumped on the gathering of physical copies of banned books. But also. These are all ones I've been meaning to read. 📚 And some are books I've been thinking about getting for quite a while.

This! While we can't always find everything, we sure can try!
#librariansofbluesky #booksofbluesky
Library tip: Can't find a title you're looking for? Request it through your library or through an inter-library loan! Your library can either purchase it or aquire it from a nearby county for you to borrow! #booksky 💙📚 #libsky

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . .

Auschwitz is liberated | January 27, 1945 | HISTORY
The Soviet Red Army enters Auschwitz, Poland, and liberates the survivors of the network of concentration camps—and finally reveals to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!

Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛

Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Have I been more deliberate in buying hard copies of some of my favorite banned books? Yes. Yes, I have. This includes the graphic novel editions as well.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Ever wonder what librarians find in library books when we check them in?
Here is just a handful of things we've found in 2024! I wonder what 2025 will bring. 🤔

Small but mighty MLK display at my library.
Today is a good day to remember that we need to stay strong and hold on to hope for a better future.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

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.
