This is a truly frightening thought.

What protections are in place to keep the Library of Congress safe? Are there measures in place for *this* type of threat?

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

I came home with 2 novels, a work of non-fiction and an audio book - £1 for 3 weeks for the audio book. Next up is cancelling my audible subscription. Come at me about this if I don't post about it every month. #useyourlibrary

i smile when the first thing i see opening a library book is a Date Due slip. Bonus smile: a pencilled Dewey Decimal code. "Among Flowers" by Jamaica King. (2005) #libraries #supportlibraries #useyourlibrary #weneedlibraries

Love is #BlindDateWithABook from my husband and our local library.

Two wrapped books with clues on the front. One book says: can you help solve the mystery? written in a drawn on magnifying glass. Both books are decorated with foam heart stickers.

Libraries are important for books. Libraries are also important for reasons that have nothing to do w/ books.

Support your local library.

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

Fun Fact: Your local library does still carry DVDs 😃 You can find shows and movies you loved as a kid in physical form and check them out for free…just a reminder in case streaming continues to act crazy

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

My @silentbookclub.bsky.social had a Fall Audiobook Walk and it was just perfect
We walked in the park for an hour listening to our books, then chatted afterwards

📢 I’m late to the Libby party so now I feel the need to shout about it! 📢

Just listened to David Nichols We Are Here straight onto Sally Rooney Intermezzo, from my library! For free! (as a tax payer etc)

I don’t have that much on my kindle, but I’m screwed as I have nowhere to download them to, don’t have a pc/laptop. I use my library constantly as I couldn’t afford to buy all the books I read, but I do want the author to be compensated. #UseYourLibrary 💙📚
