Reports of KKR's intention to acquire Simon & Schuster have included an interesting detail for the library world—they already own OverDrive. I spoke to @sandeepvaheesan and @marjorie_kelly for @LibraryJournal to learn what this might mean. https://t.co/CBwG2sJXFz
KKR's potential acquisition of Simon & Schuster will undergo scrutiny from the Department of Justice before proceeding and could raise questions about how Simon & Schuster will do business with OverDrive in the future. https://t.co/hSm0QVlF6F
"The public good, in an even broader sense of the general welfare, is closely related to progress for libraries. In a time of attack on the basic freedoms ... professional groups must recognize their stake in the outcome.." @edrabinski quotes E.L. Josey. https://t.co/T6wZUXb1WH

Hello @7StoriesPress 🙋♀️. I was pleasantly surprised after I found the entire Annie Ernaux collection of yours today at @PenguinIndia's stall in International Kolkata Book Fair. ❤
Yesterday in class, we read a beautifully illustrated book - The Lost Soul. We linked the concept of the book - needing to slow down our fast pace life - to the current pandemic. The children loved it! @tokarczuk_olga#readingforpleasure#primary
Our staff pick this week is from Anne! She recommends THE LOST SOUL by Olga Tokarczuk.

“I do love this gorgeous book! It is a balm for the book soul in all of us. Slow. Down.”
Love our staff picks? Check out our staff pick shelf at the front of the store, or ask a bookseller!
Special thanks to @citythatreads's @SJSUiSchool class "Building a Critical Culture: Information Ethics, Diverse Communities, and Critical Librarianship" for re-introducing me to @Fobettarh's work
It has been so hard to keep this news quiet, but it’s finally out so I can share that I am writing a book! I am super excited!!! Wish me luck in the actual writing of it all! 😎🙈😱
JD from @mountain_goats has some very nice things to say about THE GOSPEL OF ORLA over on Instagram! A seal of approval from an expert on stories about troubled youths with religious issues!
