Libraries are cool
As a librarian I’m a firm believer in reading whatever you want… HOWEVER I also know from experience that if you don’t carve out a space specifically for teens the adults will take over and you will not have any teens in the space. This is currently happening with YA books

It’s good to read the works of classic authors like Austen, Hemingway, Twain, Dickens, Joyce, Harper Lee, and Brontë but if you’re not also reading Morrison, Márquez, Hughes, Baldwin, Butler, Hurston, and Ellison you’re not really interested in reading the classics, just white authors.

The biggest problem with being online is that people sometimes don’t think deep enough, and sometimes they think way too fucking deep that they end up coming to the wrong conclusion

In 2023, Arkansas governor signed into law Act 372 and the LEARNS Act, and both acts hurt librarians and teachers. In this same year, Sanders is facing the lowest approval rating for an Arkansas governor in the last 20 years while public libraries are now more popular than ever

This month has been pretty difficult for me (family drama mostly), and I feel like I am not doing anything correct (though that is (probably???) just anxiety)
Anyway, I would love to hear some of your favorite books you've read recently

Me: don’t get all your opinions from social media.
Some person: wow, I followed you because you always said it was important to uplift marginalized voices, and because of western propaganda the only place they can be heard is social media. Disappointed
Social media isn’t research!

Please please please stop getting your opinions about the Israel/Palestine crisis from social media. Read articles and books by people who actually know what they are talking about. Anyway, here is a breakdown I recently read:
