Perhaps the simplest one of all: follow FLN and amplify their work.
Not just here.
FLN is also on
www.instagram.com/freelibrarie..., www.facebook.com/freelibrarie...,
www.linkedin.com/company/free...,
youtube.com/@freelibrari...,
and (sorry) x.com/FreeLibNetwork.

Of course you can donate too.
Not just money — though that is always wonderful, thank you very much, your tax deduction certificate will be with you soon — but also your time and your expertise (there are so. many. things. you can do, check the link), and with books. www.fln.org.in/donate-to-fln/

If you work in a free library, or are a library-curriculum expert, educator or facilitator, or a policy maker, lawyer, researcher or activist actively contributing to library reform, curriculum development and pedagogy, you can apply to be an FLN member: www.fln.org.in/fln-membersh...

If you are in book-related work — writing, making art, editing, agenting, publishing, literary criticism, literary journalism, teaching — and support the right to free libraries for all, you could sign FLN’s compact: www.fln.org.in/publishers-w...

One of the things FLN, which is still a young organisation, has done is draft the People’s National Library Policy, which you can read here: www.fln.org.in/library-refo...

What exactly does @freelibsnet.bsky.social do? Check out their site www.fln.org.in, but here are a few things to start with.
FLN’s member libraries are, as the name suggests, free. Not ₹100 a year, not ₹10 a year, free. ₹0.00. No financial barriers to inclusion.

Hollywood studios might do it for newer stuff; Universal doing it for Oppenheimer comes to mind. but older stuff I doubt studios will care. pretty certain Prime, Hotstar, Netflix are doing it cuz of bootlicking

that Ross does it while also neatly adapting one of the most acclaimed books in recent memory is quite a feat. (3/3)

both films are inflected by the context brought upon by a documentarian’s cold camera: Kapadia via roaming, searching shots of Mumbai and Ross via archival footage, in contrast to the understanding gaze that Kapadia has for her protagonists and the lived feeling that Ross provides. (2/3)

Found this interesting. There are a lot of issues with the unorganized financial structure especially in Tamil cinema. It is limiting and shrinking the slate. But it is also what protects it from this sort of self-censorship.
