we place too much emphasis on “being a success” and not enough on reading in the bath and being able to make a particularly good crumble and getting excited about a new kind of bird

in an age when apps and advertisers are crowding our lives with noise and demanding every second of our attention, the act of joyfully losing one's self in a good book is a radical act.

Young people no longer hang out in person because we’ve spent decades dis-investing in public spaces, and the reason they’re now flocking to libraries is because libraries are just about the only place left where they can go and hang out and nothing is demanded of them.

The library will no longer be taking questions.

We will be taking quests.

Sure, I go to the library for books, but also sometimes I go just to exist in a space that’s welcoming, organized, comfortable, judgement-free, and run by knowledgeable, helpful, passionate people, because that energy is straight up medicinal.

@CarnegieMedals Ahh thank you!

[Lisa Pryde @librarylisa_uk]

@CarnegieMedals Hi! I'm a school librarian and would like to use a couple of your author interviews in a presentation - is there a direct link for each? Also do you have any other videos available? I can' see anything for this year on your Vimeo channel. Thanks in advance.
