"I LOVE the Chicago Public Library... From being warming sites, handing out Narcan kits and seeds, the programming, staff, resources and BOOKS available at a library are the true gems of this city." - Karen

A library’s role in our communities is more relevant and important than ever.
Libraries are the pillar of democracy because we provide free and open access to information but also a place for civic engagement and dialogue.

It's #NationalLibraryWeek — we should all be celebrating the freedom to read and the work that librarians are doing to protect that right. Instead, Indiana lawmakers passed a bill to ban books. Hoosiers want freedom, not censorship. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/indiana-bill-make-book-banning-schools-easier-98916052 https://nitter.net/ACLUIndiana/status/1651709811719847939?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon#m #HoosierMast #Indiana

looks like my main form of celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek is working on an ALA accreditation self study. Even for the cataloging side of me, the amount of planned redundancy is impressively convoluted.

#Libraries are terrific! Did you know that for a limited time individuals in the US, ages 13-21, can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) eCard, gaining access to BPL's eBook collection and learning databases.

It's #LibraryOutreachDay! Let's celebrate meeting library patrons where they are and advocating for library outreach services! Who doesn't love a good bookmobile or books delivered on horseback? #NationalLibraryWeek
