11 people were responsible for 60% of the book bans in 2021.
Just a few hateful parents are responsible for most of the book challenges in America.
We all know that things are bad when it comes to widespread, targeted book-banning in America. It’s a free speech crisis unlike any we’ve seen in a generation, and follows in this country’s grand t…

#PublicDomainDay #CopyrightFree #CreativeCommons
A noir-style illustrated poster titled “The Case of the Disappearing Copyright.” The Lockette—a cartoon character whose body is an open yellow padlock—cautiously steps out of an open vault marked with a copyright symbol. A strong beam of light shines from outside the frame, casting a large copyright symbol onto the floor. Floating eyes and a magnifying glass with a question mark evoke a detective mystery. Red footprints lead toward the open vault door. Text reads: “Public Domain Day 2026” and “Jan 21st @10am PT: Virtual.” Illustrated by Freya Morgan.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

The fining system is outdated and inefficient. What other ways can we think of to get patrons to understand and maintain the basic principle of temporary and alternating use of a common good?

If you claim to love libraries but also get a thrill from the idea of punishing people financially for the late return of books and other materials then your love of libraries is exclusionary and I will have no truck with it!

In fact you can truck right off!

Sinds ze iets meer dan 4 jaar geleden het opsporingsbericht van haar moeder deelde denk ik rond de jaarwisseling vaak aan @studiocaro.bsky.social. Nu ik een ouder aan het verliezen ben aan dementie is die herinnering aan Caro's zoektocht en getuigenis sterker dan anders. Ik hoop dat ze t goed stelt.

How are US librarians even earning their pay if they don't thwart this. What more than a mandate, a tenure, a staff and a skill set do you need? A spine? pen.org/report/the-n...

Trump heeft in één actie het internationaal recht ondermijnd, Poetin en Xi argumenten gegeven om hetzelfde te doen, de onderhandelingen over Oekraīne nog bemoeilijkt, een precedent gecreëerd in de jacht op grondstoffen en de Europese Unie uit elkaar gespeeld.
