We need better digital lending policies for libraries, we need libraries, and public media to be funded. We are not powerless, and it is not hopeless. Call your legislators, choose where your dollars go.

federal funding cuts to public libraries, public television & public radio force people to spend money to access stories & information. There are a lot of horribles in this parade, but the one that strikes me is the idea that we are making it very difficult to find free fun. Fun is behind a paywall.

So many of our fun cultural products are being removed from institutions that give you free access. Then this morning I saw on instagram my local American library posted about the fact that federal funding cuts mean Libby will be unable to license as many e-books, reducing access for many people 2/3
