Going chart for my next read. Everyone I know seems to be on with it. Some standout lines so far: "The only way to learn is to live" 😊 #midnightlibrary

"you just never know how it ends" and thats what makes life worth living, doesn't it? I really felt Nora's renewed desire to try on life again, and to go at it with full force. to appreciate the unremembereds in her life, share her care with her neighbor and old librarian 💜 #booksky #midnightlibrary

in a moment of bleakness, I thought it right to read the midnight library. I learned lessons listening to it the first time, and it helped lift the bleakness a bit, enough to be able to breathe again. so, lets try it again 🥲 #booksky #midnightlibrary #audiobook

Buses rolled slowly past shuttered shops, their seats half-empty after months of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In the air hung the mix of hope and fear—the sound of feet marching toward freedom, but also the whispers of those determined to silence that march.On the edge of town stood an old, faded house with chipped paint and ivy curling along its fence. Most folks passed by without a second glance, but to those who knew, that house was a lifeline.It was called The Midnight Library.The keeper of that house was Miss Lorraine Baker—a quiet, silver-haired Black woman with a gentle smile and steady eyes. By day, she scrubbed floors at the department store and kept her head low, careful not to draw trouble. But at night, behind that locked front door, Miss Lorraine led a quiet revolution.The inside of her home was a world apart from the streets outside.Books lined every wall—some stacked high in crates, others resting on tables. Her collection had grown over decades, from poetry by Langston Hughes to novels by Zora Neale Hurston, biographies of freedom fighters, and pamphlets about voting rights. Many were worn with age, their pages dog-eared and margins filled with notes.But these books weren’t just for Miss Lorraine—they were for the entire neighborhood.The public library in Montgomery was closed to Black citizens, but Miss Lorraine believed knowledge belonged to everyone. She had inherited the belief—and many of the books—from her grandfather, who had secretly taught himself to read in slavery.Every night, once the streets quieted, neighbors would softly knock at her door—two slow knocks, then three quick taps. It was the secret signal.“Come in, baby,” she’d whisper as she opened the door. “The library’s open.”Inside, children sat cross-legged on the floor, their eyes wide as Miss Lorraine read aloud from history books or poetry collections. Adults came too—some to read the news, others to discuss the boycott and the growing civil rights movement.The Midnight Library wasn’t just about stories. It became a safe haven for ideas, a place where people shared plans for protest marches and voter drives.Miss Lorraine often said,Freedom don’t start in the streets. It starts right here,as she tapped her finger to her temple.They can close their libraries, but they can’t close our minds.But the danger was real.Whispers spread about her gatherings. The police began watching her house from a distance. Some neighbors begged her to stop, fearful of violent repercussions.“They’ll burn you out,” warned Mr. Harris, an elderly neighbor.Lorraine only smiled, calm as still water.“They can burn the house,” she said softly, “but they can’t burn the words already sown in us.”One stormy night, as rain pelted the windows and thunder rolled through Montgomery, Miss Lorraine opened her doors once more. Dozens gathered, their faces lit by candlelight. She stood by the window, reading aloud from Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, her voice steady despite the rattling winds outside.That night, no police came. No cross appeared in her yard.Some say the storm itself protected her; others believed the officers knew better than to ignite a rebellion among neighbors already brimming with courage.The Midnight Library endured.In the years that followed, as segregation laws crumbled and Montgomery’s streets grew more open, Miss Lorraine’s library became a symbol of quiet defiance and unbreakable spirit.When she passed away at age eighty-seven, the city mourned deeply. Generations came to her funeral—men and women who had learned their first words under her roof, activists who’d found their voices in her living room, children who now carried books to their own children.Her home was preserved, turned into a museum and community reading center.Above the doorway, carved into oak wood, is the phrase Miss Lorraine repeated throughout her life:“They can’t close our minds.”To this day, The Midnight Library remains a place where readers gather, where freedom still whispers between the pages, and where every visitor is reminded that the greatest revolutions often begin in the quietest corners.#documentary #blackhistory

Vor drei Wochen, bevor ich zu meiner Familie ins Rheinland fuhr, war ich auf der Suche nach einem Buchgeschenk für meine Nichte. Ich fand das Buch #Mitternachtsbibliothek von #MattHaig. Vorgestern kaufte ich es als #MidnightLibrary, und ich hab es trotz Arbeit in weniger als zwei Tagen gelesen! Ich

Life is about to get wilder than any of us expected.
And I think the point is just—
Live it.
Live it when it’s brilliant and full.
Live it when it’s cold and alienating.
Live it when you don’t know what it means.

Live it.

Just starting The Midnight Library? What’s the word? #booksky #books #midnightlibrary

Seeing a book being promoted emotionally by white guys:
Suspicious 🤔

Seeing such book being eviscerated by white guys:
Interesting 🧐

Midnight Library felt different reading it in 2025. It's 100% healing fiction addressing regret and loss. But thinking about it today she's always in the same larger political situation. Imagine finding the "perfect for you" life but it's at the start of an oligarchy? #booksky #midnightlibrary

What a beautiful novel. A hard read at the start, especially if you've personally had a tough time with mental health. But the story is uplifting and beautifully optimistic. Excellent book to go into a New Year with. Loving your work @matthaig.bsky.social #midnightlibrary #borrowbox #boltonlibraries
