"A library in a small town should not have to fight on their own to be an entire center of support for the young people in that small town." - Hanif Abdurraqib to Library Journal's Hallie Rich I have a feeling Hanif will quicken our imagination & empathy at #ALAAC24 in 3 weeks.

“It is an attack on our libraries as spaces that we are restricting what kind of information our communities and our students can access.” —Annabelle Jenkins, Idaho Fine Arts Academy graduate wapo.st/458SGIq #UniteAgainstBookBans

And we get to see this brilliant writer from beloved Ohio in person at #ALAAC24 @uniteagainstbookbans instagram.com/reel/C8XVSsAAB…

"Partnership" seemed pretty nebulous to me until I watched the panel session with live local librarians and League volunteers. Great stories worth the watching: tinyurl.com/bdh7d8kz #ReaderVoterReady

It was great to see everybody (and get some time off in CA afterwards)!

Proud of the work my colleagues Michael and Delin do to serve international libraries. Bonus: a moment of nostalgia when I met Elizabeth State University Music Librarian Nurhak Tuncer-BayramlI, who's from Turkey.

From Ida Bae Wells’s opening keynote at this week’s Intellectual Freedom Summit, organized by American Library Association: “It should not take courage to be a librarian. Your work is prodemocracy work. Just do what you do—and also vote.” bit.ly/intellectualfr…
