LIS workers, if you can't manage to use any of the free access points for digital resources or even fucking Google to find out what the bestselling books are rn, you should not be employed in a library full stop.
This shit is embarrassing
Tell Envisionware to GTFO, literally trying to sell an AI agent to libraries

Libraries are at risk.
Call your federal legislators - (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. Capitol switchboard.
Or, go to action.everylibrary.org/emailreps to send emails. Edit the message to tell your federal legislators how important federal funding for libraries is.

Look at the paws - this cat was 100% definitely making biscuits. Photo from my collection, back reads “Jean and Patty at home, July 1952”.

Regular reminder to go get a public library card. As book bans become more and more common, supporting libraries is going to be essential.
For most places I've lived, all you need to get a library card is a photo ID and a piece of mail that shows you live in the city. It's free!

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

See: why the goal isn't to shut down libraries when it comes to these attacks on library workers and on books.
It's to shut down PUBLIC libraries and turn them into for-profit institutions for the elite so the elite can pat themselves on the back about it.
They're not dumb. They're coordinated.

There's an impulse to give these fuckers the benefit of the doubt--"oh, they're just too ignorant/dumb to understand what they're doing"--when the point is: they don't give the first fuck how anything works already, they're looking for how THEY can control things and profit from them, period.

it is wild when people are like oh you could do this or you have this power. Maman I work at a library and have to explain why people just can not get on their email on the computer like that can on their phone every day.

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
