This is the SECOND federal court to rule against the slashing of the only federal agency dedicated to library funding. Learn about ALA's own legal case: ala.org/IMLS-lawsuit

mmiw issues are incredibly important to me as these kind of abuses are in my own family lineage. violence against native women has been at such a high that there were specific laws passed to attempt to slow it down. pls learn more, advocate, and show up for our native women.

I just finished this book! I first read this in college and now was the perfect time to pick it up again. I highly recommend adding this to your collection! #Blackbooksky #booksky #Blackfeminism

Black Women ✨ That’s it. That’s all. Carry on.

SCREAMINGGG. THANK YOU Ken Liu and Saga Press for this advanced copy of All That We See or Seem. This is one of my MOST anticipated reads of the year and I'm so excited for this science fiction thriller that blurs the lines between AI and the dreamscape.

Because of you, we raised over $55,000 in support of public libraries during National Library Week 💓 (At least one of our team members cried seeing that number. Okay, fine, it was me.) Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated, shared, or showed support for their library in other ways.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: "Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a Reuters camera drone which was observing the facility. Buses to the airport were turned around at the last second."

TODAYS REMINDER TO BE UNBOTHERED And by that, I mean, divest your energy from shit that don’t matter‼️ invest in the people you love‼️in building community‼️in talking to your neighbors‼️organizing yr workplace‼️showing up for others when u can‼️the rich need us, but we don’t need them‼️organize‼️

idk who needs to hear this but… you can support the library AND indie bookstores. you can support indie authors AND traditionally published authors. you can support big creators AND little creators.

Posting this one again 🤣
