A student in the UNO Library Science program. The rest of the time I enjoy anything from Geneology to DND.

This is from earlier in the month but I find the way they used Minecraft to give people access to censored works pretty cool https://t.co/k7hGRFYkgU #TLDE2022

I always enjoy learning more about stuff like this. The link also provides so much more fun stuff to look at. #TLDE2022

So I took a trip to one of the OPL branches (W Dale Clark) and finally got to look at some of their Zines! They were honestly so cool and fun to look at. I decided to share a few photos I took of them. If you ever get the chance take a look! #TLDE2022

I know this doesn't affect me at all but this is just another way people are trying to limit what we do. So I guess we have to keep an eye out because it can come from anywhere. #TLDE2022 https://t.co/K6OUOAzvOG

I have no words for how much this story upsets me. It's basically trying to ignore important parts of history. I definitely will pick up a copy. #TLDE2022

When critically acclaimed #bannedauthor @brandycolbert was invited to a school for #AfricanAmericanReadIn during #BHM, she never imagined that they would find her book about the Tulsa Race Massacre to be “too controversial.” #IntellectualFreedom #Freadom

I find this really cool because I've never really heard about these kinds of stories (sadly) #TLDE2022

As a future librarian, I really hope this doesn't become a part of the struggle we might have to deal with. If it does, I guess I'm going to get into some trouble. #TLDE2022

Both the Indiana and Iowa State Legislatures have introduced legislation regarding criminally charging libraries and librarians over “inappropriate” material. Read more on the @OIF #IntellectualFreedom blog

I kind of love that this is a thing. Any help for smaller and rural libraries is great. #TLDE2022

They especially share history in an easy but also more personal way that I feel can help people learn from any historical event even better.

[Lauren VanLaningham @Lanin1Van]

I know this account might seem a little off for the thread. I wanted to share it nonetheless. It not only shares a lot of interesting historical stuff but also shows an interesting way of sharing history. #TLDE2022

As someone who grew up in a rural area with little access to certain medical services especially mental health ones, I think any help we can give is beneficial to those that need it. #TLDE2022

Didn't know that Omaha Public Library has zines. I think it's a cool thing to have especially because they are made by those in the community and you can even donate your own. #TLDE2022

[Omaha Public Library @OmahaLibrary]

Have you checked out #OmahaLibrary's zine collection lately? Zines are niche, handmade, hyper-local booklets created by community members for community members. Browse this collection at Benson Branch and W. Dale Clark Main Library! Learn more here: https://t.co/O9MSqlAR0Z
