Having fun isn’t hard when LIBRARIES ARE WELL-FUNDED AND SUPPORTED! Samuels Public Library faces new challenges. I shout about it daily. The staff and trustees plan to be open on July 1, with or without county support. Just gonna plop this here.

Supervisors, who submitted book removal forms, created a new library board, where they appointed more people who submitted book removal forms, who then recommended the Board of Supervisors end the Library Funding Agreement with Samuels.

When they claim financial oversight but then talk about policies regarding reading materials it makes you go "hmmmmmm."
Okay, Jay.

Shockingly (/s) you can also read their Board of Trustees meeting minutes, strategic plan, and Director's reports. It's almost like the library is already transparent with how they spend the money allocated to them.

The Warren County Board of Supervisors is considering taking the money allocated for Library Services in Warren County (which were allocated to the Warren County Library Board, not Samuels Public Library), slicing it up, and giving it to other county departments.

it's funny bc the WC Board of Supervisors criticized Samuels Public #Library for hiring PR (that didn't use public funding), and now they're doing the same thing... with actual public funding...

The only #library outsourcing company in the nation, Library Systems & Services LLC, has submitted a bid to take over library services in Warren County. They are a for-profit company. If accepted, this will lead to cuts in staffing and services, bc they have to make a profit somewhere 🙄

In summer 2023 I became aware of the attacks on my hometown library. Being from the area, being a library worker, and being queer, I wanted to help in any way. I started rambling on tiktok.
That library is at risk of being defunded again. Tomorrow night. Show up if you can.
