Always! I am reading more cozy mysteries and fiction right now because I need to escape and calm myself from the world. I love my library!

Truth! We have a lot of homeless people in LA. They make use of the library daily. We have a Ruth Bader Ginsberg reading room. We also have drag story time for kids! #westhollywood #westhollywoodlibrary #LA #losangeles #lacountylibrary #allinclusive #books #readsomething

👀Spotted in the wild!!! 👀

🥹It's surreal to find my own book at my local library & not check it out! 😂

May it find its way into the hands of a curious young reader and inspire them to dream big!

This is for all the book-hungry folks living in bassackwards book-banning states. Brooklyn will help you break those chains.
So will the #BostonPublicLibrary, the #LACountyLibrary, the #SanDiegoPublicLibrary, and the #SeattlePublicLibrary
