@jcoyle_libman We have some extended hours at one branch, unstaffed. It seems to go ok, but we haven't yet extended to other branches. I'm not sure of the particulars.

The ppl who banned Black ppl from schools, jobs, military, & public spaces, lynched Latinos, banned Asian immigration, locked up Japanese ppl, broke hundreds of treaties with Native Americans—& are now banning teaching that history—want you to stop making everything about race.😐

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

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.

@cmclymer I'm sure my mom did before I started reading myself, but I don't really remember it.

Republicans stole elections through voter suppression and then stole two SCOTUS seats. GOP justices stole the rights of groups already deprived of rights. Republicans complained about rights and elections being stolen from *them* to cover up their robberies.

How they got here.

@NoetheMatt The pay for most library jobs is abysmal.

[Nick Bennyhoff @ntbennyhoff]

Is it possible to have a serious discussion about the abysmal pay of the majority of library jobs, a fact which is in large part rooted in long-term institutional misogyny and abetted by vocational awe?
