Here's a Carnegie library in a small Illinois farm town.
I became friends with the librarian as I so frequently visited the library. I also worked there in high school.
I loved that library, and I love my New England library as well.
Public libraries are public good!

What’s a hashtag to save a Library?

I made up #LibrariesMatter

But I am not happy with it

Do you have any ideas?

It's Gladstone's Library in Hawarden, Wales

And I fully agree #LibrariesMatter

I went to the library. I love it there so much. No one blinks at my babies having two moms. They help my kid find magic books (avoiding HP). I got free seeds to grow pickling cucumbers and a book about PDA.

It just makes my life so much better in every way. #librariesmatter

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong.
Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚

Just a reminder, supporting your local library means championing education, equity, and community. Libraries are more than books—they’re lifelines for learning, connection, and opportunity. 📚 #SupportLibraries #LibrariesMatter #BookSky 💙📚
