A fantastic post from Katharine Hay in @thescotsmanpaper.bsky.social this week on the importance of rural libraries: www.scotsman.com/hays-way/my-...

#LibrariesAreEssential
I would have been left stranded without Scotland’s libraries - their closure is devastating
Stripping rural areas of local libraries will be another blow to already underserved communities.

Libraries irrelevant in 2024? Sure, if you ignore free internet, lifelong learning, community support, and a quiet space where capitalism can’t nag you to buy things. But yeah, keep scrolling TikTok for 'knowledge.' #LibrariesAreEssential #NotJustForBooks

Libraries aren’t obsolete—they’re lifelines.

From job seekers to curious kids, seniors to struggling families, libraries serve everyone.
Defund ignorance, not access to knowledge.

Support your local library.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Every single one of these things is something I think about every day.

Imperialism and colonialism? The current battle is to maybe get permission to buy Thanksgiving books that aren’t “look how chummy everyone was” but really? Most structural inequality, at least wrt race, starts here
darkrose.bsky.social Darkrose @darkrose.bsky.social · May 7
"...imperialism and colonialism, mass incarceration, disparities in access to healthcare, the achievement gap in education, and disparate outcomes for “BIPOC populations.” (95) None of these topics has more than an indirect link to library work."

I have lost my ability to can.

Libraries are the heart of every community, and stories like this prove it! From lending books to reuniting someone with lost laundry, libraries go above and beyond to support and connect people. Just one more reason to love and support our local libraries! #LibrariesAreEssential
Screenshot of a social media post describing how someone left their laundry at a bus stop in Glen Park. The laundry was found by Good Samaritans who brought it to the Glen Park Library. Another person then returned it to the laundromat where it was originally picked up. The post expresses gratitude to the community and highlights the kindness of strangers.

Public #libraries are much more than a personal money saver: they add value to your #community! When you support a public library, you support the thousands of people that use them everyday to borrow books, use computers, attend events and more.

Public Libraries are Valuable to the Community. They're much more than a personal money saver (even though using them will save you money). Picture of a library staff member reading a picture book to children. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo. PA Forward Gold Star Program logo. Libraries are Essential. As a place to hold food and goods drives. Libraries often serve as drop off points for food drives, clothing drives, school supplies drives, and more. Picture of a box intended to drop nonperishable food for a collection at the Bellefonte Library. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo. PA Forward Gold Star Program logo. Libraries are Essential. As a place for community meetings. Local organizations, clubs, and educators often use library space to meet and host events.

Libraries are Essential. As a crucial resource for job seekers. Job seekers are always welcomed at libraries where they can utilize computers, printing and copying resources, and staff expertise to apply for jobs.
