Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

@MtwoBtwo There was something that showed up randomly on my calendar about 10 years ago and I still wonder what it meant sometimes.

@xoxolibrarian Had my first one last week, it didn’t hurt at all!

@DigitalHistory_ 4 1/2, Claire’s in the mall. I was thrilled, my dad was not because he said I had to wait until I was 5.

@toddgrooten In our rural county, there are 10 school districts. None of them have had a librarian in the last 20 years.

1/6 We try to keep it light and fun here, but today we'd like to try and explain one of the biggest causes of frustration patrons face at the Accounts Desk: "My spouse has five books checked out, can you tell me what they are?" The answer? Simply? No.

@TheRotund This literally never dawned on me until I just read this tweet. Always the biggest girl, definitely had (and still has) the most earrings.

@JenTheLittleOwl People think it’s weird that I don’t buy of keep books for my house. Why? I have everything I want at my fingertips all day

With all these book bans, @levarburton's life just got a lot more difficult. #BannedBooksWeek

@ScottyBonner @loather If they don’t list the pay scale, I don’t even read the postings anymore. I’ve also learned as an employer that we get much better results when we have it in our listings.

@FarrahRochon @TODAYshow @thebestjasmine I finished The Hookup Plan a couple of days ago and loved it!! This one was my favorite of the series.
