You undoubtedly have expertise in your specific job or field, and so do the librarians. Librarians have communities of theory and practice, and also, constraints

But if you're not in children's literature, you should know that it's scary out here. Librarians, teachers, booksellers, and those who are public facing are being dehumanized and receiving scary threats. The discourse is overblown and at times violent. About kids books.

At a time when so many of us are watching our hard work get stolen and repurposed by "Ai" we are also faced with threats in our community. Please watch the Emmy award winning documentary The Librarians. And call your reps to push against these federal book banning bills: HR 7661, 2616, and 8705.
