I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library - ThreadSky

That’s good news!

Thank you for this info. I encourage people, who don't know what to do, to start educating themselves on what has been successful in the past. A good book to start with is "A Force More Powerful" then continue to research books.

The waits are so long on Libby that I’m buying a lot used. I take that as a very good sign!

maybellemabel.bsky.social•67 days ago

I just learned that Libby & Hoopla aren’t as beneficial to libraries as physically renting the book. Gonna get down to the library more now! The more you know ! 🌈

Best news I've seen all day!

Libraries are amazing, thank you for the work you and your colleagues do.

Without knowledge of what we CAN be we never WILL be.

Keep fighting America.

Liberalism isn't dead. It's Conservatism that's been killed in the process of Fascists trying to kill it.

Librarians have been good to me:

What inspiring books do you recommend?

Thank you 💙 for the
GOOD & HEARTENING NEWS.
The apparently NECESSARY and reluctant REVOLUTION is beginning 💙💯🇺🇸

dumpsterbarb.bsky.social•67 days ago

Oh that is encouraging. Man, I love librarians.

Just would have been nicer for all of us if they had realized BEFORE November?

Thanks. I needed this.

good to hear

An educated population is terrifying for totalitarian regimes. Libraries are historically a cornerstone of resistance!

emperorofhumanity.bsky.social•67 days ago

Need more posts like this. A certain other platform seems to just be post, after post that amplifies the fear, and loneliness, not stories like this that show people trying to fight.

Librarians are the original search engines, and yes they are superheroes. And yes they are being threatened.

grachellest.bsky.social•67 days ago

Thank you for all the hard work you and your fellow librarians do. Y’all are truly some of the last keepers of freedom.

Powerful statement!

Libraries are one of the
many hearts of a community.

Part-time librarian sounds like a super hero alter ego.

leoncreatesthings.bsky.social•67 days ago

This is how a grass-roots level uprising happens, folks.
We The People need to begin at the very base, working out collective way up, in order to have a strong position from which to wave the banner of FREEDOM, HONESTY, FACTS and JUSTICE.

pharrell55.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm encouraged to hear this. Thanks for taking the time to let us know.

kristinfo.bsky.social•67 days ago

@Dianateeter
Thank you for posting that. It’s nice to know that people are aware, awake, and want to fight.

Thank you for this good news

If they cut the cord, books may be our only recourse.

Libraries & teachers have always been in the fight since this Trump showed up!

limepyramid.bsky.social•67 days ago

Thank you, Diana, for the work you do 👍🏻

bestdogmom.bsky.social•67 days ago

I love that supporting your local library is also one of the best ways you can fight Felon 47 and Misfit Musk, help save democracy, and give yourself an informational, creative, and emotional boost all at the same time!

weirdo95.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's funny how a threat makes people realise how much they don't know isn't it?

Some of us were born avaricious for knowledge. Some people need to be frightened out of their complacency.

skyfog.bsky.social•67 days ago

People are scanning books before BebelPlatz reopens. That’s good!

I saw some idiot say on here that librarians aren’t superheroes. He’s WRONG! We’re not only superheroes, we’re the secret masters of the universe!—a retired librarian

sciencematters0725.bsky.social•67 days ago

This makes me hopeful.

Thank the gods 🙏🏻🙏🏻
