The general public: you must read a lot of literary fiction since you’re a librarian
Me: would you like to see my collection of smutty books filled with vampires, witches, faeries, dragons or demons?

Dr. Hayden is also the first Librarian of Congress to have a graduate degree in library science. She holds an MA and PhD. The “next guy” is most likely going to be another unqualified white guy. Trump once again demonstrates how scared he is of intelligent Black women.

I know this has been talked about many times before but I’ll keep asking until insurance companies come up with a justifiable reason why ears, eyes, and teeth are covered differently. Currently dealing with hearing aids issues.

Librarian thoughts: Library records are confidential. We don’t tell anyone what books you have checked out. Apparently we have more security than the Secretary of Defense. 🤦♀️

Librarian thoughts: libraries pay Overdrive, Hoopla, Kanopy and other streaming services so that you can check out ebooks, e-audiobooks, e-magazines, and stream music, tv shows, and movies for free. LibGen is theft. Support your local library and support authors.

I’ve heard reports that DOGE raided the Institute for Museum and Library Services this morning. There’s been no reports on it since the shuttering of the Department of Education is dominating the news.

Librarian thoughts: libraries are nonpartisan. That doesn’t mean they aren’t political. Books are political. Who we serve is political. How we serve is political. Librarians are targets of political attacks. Yet we will continue to fight for everyone’s right to read, view, and use our resources.

This is absolute bs! Think about why one side of the aisle is starting a war against librarians.
Rhea Young, the Montgomery County Memorial Library System Director, was abruptly terminated after a coordinated influence campaign to oust her by local conservative groups.
The local blogger behind the campaign has called librarians "groomerbrarians":

For Day 2 of Black History Month I have one book recommendation. There is also a kid’s version. How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. I chose this book in particular because of the dismantling of DEI programs.

If you don’t want to give Amazon any more of your hard earned money, just a reminder that your local public library has books, ebooks, streaming music and videos, downloadable audiobooks, and more for free with your library card. #librarylife
