Libraries do so much for our communities and families and we'd like to give back!
Please take time this coming week to send an email or postcard of appreciation for your library to your superintendent, school board/city council, county commissioners court- or to librarians themselves!

$96 million for 120 days of work. $15/hour for baristas who can’t get enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s not “the best job in retail.”
Baristas are on strike. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay & an end to union-busting. #NoContractNoCoffee seiu.co/NoStarbucks

I really love how liberal Bluesky is but please for the sake of my mental health I can’t take all this bad news even if it is by someone with a similar opinion as me. Either I mute everyone or quit social media. That might not be healthy but my god these past few years have been so damaging.

Been on a non-fiction kick for weeks. Sometimes I stay in a genre for the longest time before I finally get my full and need to change. But this non-fiction kick (switch between science and history) thank God for my library because I only buy non-fiction when it’s something I really love.

Totally recommend this book! I checked it out from my library from a Labor Day display. 10/10 the REAL history of American unions because it details the fight through the viewpoint of women, the BIPOC community, LGBTQIA people, disabled people, sex workers, prisoners, and the poor.

Stack of library books keeps getting higher and higher. Meanwhile my unread owned books giving me the metaphorical side eye every time I bring home another cool book I found at my library that day. This job, smh. Feeding a reading addiction in some kind of way.
