Fund Libraries: Tell Congress to invest in libraries. ALA 150, American Library Association. #FundLibraries
We're almost out of time to tell the House of Representative to #FundLibraries in next year's federal budget! If you haven't taken action, now's the moment: email or call your House Rep TODAY: ala.org/showup
Remember, kids - a list of banned books is your new reading list. And libraries are your friend.
NEW: ALA reaffirms our opposition to HR 7661, misguided federal book banning legislation in the House of Representatives. At a committee hearing on the bill today, @repbonamici.bsky.social read our statement emphasizing that "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading."
Close! I saw them in Kansas. Excellent show.
Beautiful day to read under a tree.
The library gives me faith in some kind of future. May libraries survive and thrive.
Happy #PiDay! An infinite number deserves an infinite number of stories. Good thing your library never runs out.

Libraries are so beautifully disruptive.
Was this at the wave?
Show up for our libraries. ALA 150, American Library Association.
NEW: Congress has begun preparation for next year's federal budget, and they need to hear from library advocates like you.
The best way to show up #ForOurLibraries during the budget process? Take action.
Tell your Representative to #FundLibraries in FY 2027: ala.org/showup
The Federal Government wants to regulate the books in YOUR community!
Help take a stand today.

We've had a day to pull a few things together, so here's a thread some more targeted info opposing the potential national book ban just proposed in the House of Representatives.

ACTION ALERT: H.R. 7661 threatens school libraries & takes away parents' rights to guide their children's reading. If it passes, public #libraries are next.
Protect #Democracy. Protect #freadom.
If you live in #Louisiana, take 30 seconds to email your Rep here: actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Yes lol, there are many great gay books, this is just one of them
My thing it's like setting fires all over the place to distract from some bigger crime. The fires are still destructive and great resources will be spent putting them out. But don't let them get away with the bigger crime.
Had the opportunity to see @michaelfanone.bsky.social speak today. Thank you so much for your service.
Get well soon!
Contact your representatives!
Read banned books.
Watch banned interviews.

Here's a quick action you can take to support Right to Read legislation at the Federal level. Yes, we know, we know, but Congress changes and we can't get what we don't fight for

I think it’s important to remember that a lot of everyday people risked their lives hiding art from the Nazis. It’s a very powerful form of resistance to ensure that books, art, research, music, and media survive. You can start now. #history #nazigermany #worldwarii #resistance #fuckice
