“Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower, or a-a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten."

"Books smell musty and-and-and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is a… it, uh, it has no-no texture, no-no context. It’s-it’s there and then it’s gone. If it’s to last, then-then the getting of knowledge should be, uh, tangible. It should be, um, smelly.”

Here’s the thing. Librarians will *never* stop speaking truth, and fighting for *every person’s right* to access and use information and literature. We will continue to speak truth, check our sources, and ask you what you’re reading. 🧵3
