Liverpool's Spellow Lane library torched last night. What could be more 'patriotic' than destroying a centre which serves the local community?

Fascinating hearing examples of how libraries are responding to challenges to democracy @IFLAwlic this morning. These range from a censorship case in Germany, to provision of prison libraries in Canada, to encouraging digital literacy to combat misinformation in India. #WLIC2025
