I post a lot about libraries and now I’ll be posting a lot about birds too! Birds are awesome and we should take the time to notice them all around us every day!

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Every now and then I think about the fact that many of the parents angry about the fact that their kids can read books featuring LGBTQ+ characters from the library are the ones who were reading Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews in elementary school

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

Just a reminder. The library is free to use. Free to check out books and DVDs. Free to take your kid to Story Time. Free to ask a question. Free to sit quietly for a minute. Or an hour. #supportyourlocallibrary

SPEAKING OF GARDENS yall better have library cards. Some (most!!) public library systems have seed libraries and libraries of things where you can borrow things you may not need to own. Also libraries are revolutionary and librarians have always been on the front lines

I must echo for those mourning the possible loss of BookTok 💙📚, your local public library is still there and even better! Most librarians are literally trained to give you book recommendations (we call it readers' advisory and reference interview, and we even take classes on it 📚). #skybrarians 👇

Literally no one wants to hear the music on your phone in public.

All public libraries have one or more of the following: free books, free movies (often new releases!), free audiobooks, free e-books, free wifi, free-to-use computers, , free music, free musical instruments, free puzzles, free wall art, free passes to museums and theater, free food, free restrooms..
