Queer Texan here proud to vote for @ewarren! My tattoo could be about this election. I got extra stickers for my kids-I’m voting for them. I’m voting for my parents, sister, friends, to protect our democracy, for you & the 1st-time voter high school students at my polling place.

Sometimes you go to the library you no longer work at to pick up a reserve and scan something, and you find yourself fronting and filling stands in the new acquisitions, like a reflex 🤦‍♀️ #notmyjobanymore love ya @wblibrary

Annoy the fascists. Read. Send a book to an inmate through a program like @InsideBooksATX.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

All over the country prisons are banning books and bills are being introduced to censor libraries. Authoritarians fear the free flow of information. Read a book to annoy a fascist.

#AskALibrarian... and for @wblibrary

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

Well, since we are going with the departures=death metaphor today, here's my goodbye gif. #AskALibrarian pals, it's been an honor and a privilege. Let's make #AnnaKareninaLibrarianReadAlong2020 happen (with a better hashtag, someone?) xoxoxo!

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@dmniccoli I'll keep thinking of read-alikes for those books, and let you know if I come up with some! They've been my jam lately. :)

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@dmniccoli Check out the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden, or Spinning Silver and Uprooted by Naomi Novick! All Eastern European / Russian retellings of folk and fairy tales.

@IllinoisLibrary @lunabrd The Vegetarian was AMAZING.

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@NoetheMatt Quaker silence books: Holy Silence and Silence and Witness.

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@NoetheMatt The Chosen by Chaim Potok has a really interesting use of silence in an Orthodox Jewish religious context. I haven't read it yet, but Silence: A Christian History by Diarmaid McCulloch is supposed to be comprehensive! I love Silence by Thich Nhat Hanh.

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@IllinoisLibrary @ReadItForward Oooh - And Then There Were None started my Agatha Christie kick when I was a teenager. Her work might be dated, but it never goes out of style!

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@wblibrary @MansRichPL @IllinoisLibrary I've read it, but I wanna read along with the Russian epics! I haven't ever finished War and Peace...

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@mulberrylibrary @lunabrd @ReadItForward Mine, too. <3

Read it in autumn, is my recommendation. It's a fall kind of book.

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@NoetheMatt Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is my favorite. There are a number of wonderful Buddhist texts about silence. Are you looking for a theoretical exploration of silence, isolation, spiritual, social, etc.?

@vein_of_silver Quest for a Maid!

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@NorthJudsonLib YES.

#AskALibrarian is almost here! It's my last one as backup for @wblibrary. In the spirit of goodbyes - what departure in literature most affected you? Make us cry today.

[tina for warren @tinawinks]

@wblibrary These are amazing, and also, I naively thought y'all would post about people leaving for a trip or something, not DYING
