I've told this story before on the bird site, but I'll share it here.
Ask local candidates for office if they have a library card. In a past job, none of them had library cards, and consequently, and unsurprisingly, kept trying to cut library funding.
Ask. Ask if they use the library at all.

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

Will they be the ones who champion the hard working staff and get them what they need, even during a budget crunch, or will the library be first on the chopping block, with books banned?
