Words are empty; actions are everything in our current political climate and always. It's our responsibility as keepers of one of the last kinds of free public spaces.

[Alyssa Maynard @Libralyssarian]

How can your library ensure through actions (not empty words) that its community is safe and more important than easy and cowardly compliance with fascism?

[Dr. Sarah T. Roberts [email protected] @ubiquity75]

“What if a library wants to host a citizenship workshop and ICE decides to have a raid?” Real questions happening in LA among current and future librarians.

[Alyssa Maynard @Libralyssarian]

How can we emulate libraries' previous response to the Patriot Act, which allowed the FBI to access patron records, by posting signs like these?

*writing a collection development policy for library school, whispers* his accessible materials (2019)

[Mel Gillman @melgillman]

Did you ALSO know: you can see if the library has a free app to loan ebooks (most do!), so you can check out books without ever having to leave your house and feel the touch of the accursed daystar

[Mel Gillman @melgillman]

Did you know: if you can’t afford a book, you can request that your public library buys a copy instead. And the library probably will! And the author still gets paid for it!!

[Alyssa Maynard @Libralyssarian]

A great idea for anticipating patron needs during holiday travel, complete with loanable headphones! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Somerville Public Library @SomervillePL]

Stop by the Children's Room and pick up some #audiobooks for a peaceful ride to Grandma's. 🚗✈️
Our collection includes; CDs for the whole family, Playaways, and our new Wonderbooks -- great for individual listening or cars without CD players.
...Don't forget the headphones! 🎧

Look at this great workshop for local kids! 😂 @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Public Library of Brookline @brklib]

At last Sunday’s #Hogwarts at the Library, kids had a chance to write letters to their favorite characters. Here are some of our favorites, with more on display at the Brookline Village Library. Note: We would also like to know where Malfoy has his hair styled. Keep us posted. 😉

[Alyssa Maynard @Libralyssarian]

What @macmillanusa and other punishers are doing to limit digital access is shameful, not to mention shows their greed-ridden true colors. Help your local library help you by signing this petition! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Springfield Library @SpfldMassLib]

Don't let publishers bully libraries - Sign this #eBooksForAll petition - https://t.co/B9G5aWTEQE - @MacmillanUSA is wrongly limiting YOUR access to eBooks from @SpfldMassLib and all libraries. 😡 Join @ALAlibrary & libraries across the country in opposing their bad policy.

@JaclynDWilson @mikeleach42 Seeing this picture makes me want to go!

Envious of this ample and lovely space for young adults to browse and hang out! It's great that teens can volunteer to join the conversation about their space. @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

This Indigenous history event is on Thanksgiving. This opportunity fueled by Native voices is a timely way to ask ourselves “Why are we celebrating genocide? How do we celebrate community/thankfulness honestly, frequently, without this damaging reminder?” @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

An exhibit about youth living with disabilities that includes accessible features and services is a fantastic idea! Well done. @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

I took this picture when I visited New Zealand earlier in the year. I couldn't get this tiny library out of my head, so I did some research to see what they're up to in there. Turns out it's the smallest library in the country! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19
