“The Pentagon ordered all military leaders and commands to pull and review all library books that address diversity, anti-racism or gender issues by May 21” Gotta protect the military from all those big bad books. 🤷🤷 apnews.com/article/pent...

The man checked out 50 books on topics that included Jewish history, African-American history and LGBTQ education. Then burned them. www.cleveland.com/community/20...

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Good on this library.

“Multiple library board members read the two books, praised them for their content, and said neither met requirements to relocate them into the adult section.” Because every time there is a requirement to actually read the books, book banners lose www.al.com/news/2025/04...

"It's really hard to make heads or tails of this. These are meaningful programs to Americans." ALA President Cindy Hohl Many Institute for Museum and Library Services grants are funded by reimbursement, so many institutions are on the hook for money already spent. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Thank you @booker.senate.gov ! I wish Oklahoma senators shared this sentiment, especially since they BOTH have strong ties to libraries and librarians!

Reminder: Use your libraries. It helps them advocate for continued funding. Check out DVDS Use their printers Check out Books Use their digital services (Kanopy, Hoopla, Libby) See if they have a library of things (tools, electronics, games) Take classes Libraries help everyone, including you!

Happy National Library Week! As a life-long reader, I’m thankful for the special role libraries play in our communities. This week, I hope you’ll join me in celebrating them.

Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone when you're reading, they love when you bring your kids over, and they'll literally let you borrow any book you want...even their hardcovers

The library is the only place that Americans experience the fullness of what it means to remove goods from the market. It pings our consciousness. Hey we could love differently!

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Hell yeah!

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)
