A very happy National Library Workers Day to you all! As someone who works in a library, I know the sort of work that we do to help all sorts of people! #NationalLibraryWorkersDay #NationalLibraryWorkersDay2026 #HappyNationalLibraryWorkersDay #HappyNationalLibraryWorkersDay2026

Graphic for National Library Workers Day. Large text reads “National Library Workers Day” in red and blue with small silhouettes of people reading, shelving books, and working inside the letters. Below, the tagline reads “Libraries work because we do.” The ALA-APA logo appears at the bottom.

During #NationalLibraryWeek and #NationalLibraryWorkersDay (@amlibraryassoc.bsky.social), we’re recognizing the people who keep libraries running. 📚

Thank you for the care you bring to preserving and sharing knowledge.

This week, take a moment to thank a library worker or spend time in a library!

Happy National Library Week

It's National Library Workers Day. We made a special episode with @sassylibrarian.bsky.social, one of the librarians from the PBS documentary "The Librarians." She's fighting book bans. Listen now.

Seriously, lift up @mychal3ts.bsky.social right now it's a heavy load, we have to let him know he isn't alone!!

'Reading Rainbow' reboot host shares 'the most extraordinary thing I've ever learned about myself' Mychal Threets, the host of the revival of the beloved children's program "Reading Rainbow" discusses challenges to libraries, including a rise in book bans.

"I love the library. I love that it saves people’s lives. ... I just think the library is the focal center of the community."

#NationalLibraryWeek honorary chair @mychal3ts.bsky.social talked with @wbur.org 'Here & Now' host @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social on today's episode!

RIGHT NOW -- Veterans are being arrested in #washingtondc after peacefully demanding an end to the War on Iran. @vetsaboutface

We were founded as Iraq Veterans Against the War over the devastation we saw with our own eyes when Bush claimed we were going to liberate the people of Iraq and protect Americans. That war is now referred to as a blunder but it was a crime just like this War on Iran is now. /1

RIGHT TO READ DAY. April 20, 2026. Everywhere. FOR YOUR FREEDOM TO READ. FOR ACCESS TO INFORMATION. FOR UNDERSTANDING OUR PAST. FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. FOR OUR LIBRARIES. Logos for Unite Against Book Bans and ALA150 American Library Association

From Jan. 2025 - March 2026, 100+ pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people’s the right to read.

This #RightToReadDay, take action: https://bit.ly/43D9Dtw

Book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs, with 'Sold' topping the list The American Library Association says book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs. Efforts to remove titles have become more coordinated and politicized.

“In 2025, book bans were not sparked by concerned parents, and they were not the result of local grassroots efforts. They were part of a well-funded, politically-driven campaign.” - Sarah Lamdan, Executive Director of ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom.

The workers at the world’s largest library association have a story they want to tell - Chicago Reader ALA Workers United would be joining the 13 cultural institutions that have unionized in Chicago since the pandemic shutdown.

In honor of National Library Workers Day, we stand in solidarity with the staff of ALA as they unionize!

Guaranteed income helps people leaving jail and prison, and that helps everyone Guaranteed income programs show reduced recidivism and improved self-sufficiency, quickly paying for themselves.

As it stands, the U.S. treats formerly incarcerated people as second-class citizens.

One way the country can begin to undo that and set people up for success upon reentry is through guaranteed income, which reduces recidivism & saves taxpayers money.
