Happy 50th Birthday to Albuquerque‘s Main Library! Across the country – our public libraries are vital to our communities and our democracy. As a bonafide bibliophile and lover of libraries, I am proud to be on the front lines defending these vital institutions. Support your local public library!

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

Happy #IsadoraMoonDay! Whether you're celebrating in a local bookshop or library, or at home, have fun! Grown up fans, catch up on our interview with Isadora's creator Harriet Muncaster @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social #KidLitUK booksforkeeps.co.uk/article/cele...

Absolutely

Have you heard about the economic boycott set for Friday, February 28? It would be a GREAT day to spend your time getting a library card, checking out library materials, donating to your library or Friends of the Library group, or using your library’s digital services. 📚💙

At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves. clarksvillenow.com/local/books-...

Ditto for aspiring writers. When I was a script reader, occasionally I’d see a slush pile script that was written as first in a series and they were ALWAYS unsatisfying because they didn’t resolve anything

I’m in panic mode. My interlibrary loans are listed as “In Transit,” but we’re supposed to get a big snowstorm the day of the van deliveries. What if the van can’t get here?! What if they close the library?! Do I have other books to read? Yes. Plenty. That’s not the point. 📚💙

"Throughout my life, I have seen the power of books and libraries. The library became such a large influence on our lives that my daughter grew up to be a library director." northdakotamonitor.com/2025/02/06/l...

After more than a month of clouds, the moon shadows swaying under the wind undulating hedges and twisting sole topiary caused visions of shadow wraiths waiting, lurking, biding their time.

My top tips for #NationalStorytellingWeek: 1) Write the story YOU want to read. 2) No writer can write a perfect story in one draft. You need to write, read, edit, rewrite. Rewriting IS writing! (see art below, by Charles M Schulz) 3) Whatever happens - NEVER GIVE UP! sfsaid.com/2017/01/thre...

Read banned books. The list is getting longer. Easier than ever to be a rebel.

So we have a guy in charge of our lives who drove his wife to suicide? We have a guy in charge to defense that didn’t allow women to defend themselves? We have an Attorney General in charge of respecting laws that took a bribe to ignore laws? Everything seems fine.

When ever I hear Cyndi Lauper’s Into The Nightlife I think it is a Nelly Furtado song… www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5UC...

I love Cleveland, my home town, even museums have a sense of humor here. Here is a Volkswagen Beetle hidden in a display of taxidermied beetles. #ClevelandMuseumOfNaturalHistory #ClevelandHumor #humor #Volkswagen #VWbeetle #beetle

"My whole purpose was just to pass the passion of reading. There was no indoctrination. There was no agenda." ^ literally, librarians everywhere. www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/h...

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

The world may be slowly descending into madness, but making tomato soup and grilled cheese on a cold winter's day somehow makes everything a little bit better, if only for a moment.

The next decade and half of horror films right here

Dinner for two. Centercut pork loin with Brie and a dash of roasted Spanish paprika, and a side of steamed arugula, persimmon, baby bella mushrooms, and daikon radish with curry.

This is one of my son’s all-time favorite Calvin & Hobbes strips

Well worth reading frequently.

On the subject of things that would have changed my entire life as a kid, there now an app called Brickit that lets you lay all of your loose or mismatched legos out on the floor, then all you have to do it take a picture of them and it tells you all the things you can build with them! What?!

I adore banned book readers.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who read banned books.

Is this you? If it’s you I wanna be buds
