The latest newsletter from For The People is out! Critical information for those interested in strengthening and defending libraries! #LibraryDefenders librariesforthepeople.substack.com/p/for-the-pe...
Another great "For The People" newsletter for #LibraryDefenders: librariesforthepeople.substack.com/p/for-the-pe...
Just saw this terrible news about library book decisions: www.wordsandmoney.com/in-a-stunnin... We have a lot of fighting left to do if we are to protect #IntellectualFeedom and stop #censorship! #LibraryDefenders #Libraries #NoBookBans
Book bans have no place in a society that values knowledge, education, and the health and welfare of its populace! Every opportunity to fight against these bans is one we should take! #LibraryDefenders #DefendResearch
This great partnership is raising awareness of the threats libraries, including academic libraries, are facing, and that is how we will motivate more individuals--and institutions--to take action to protect them! #LibraryDefenders! @emeraldpublishing.bsky.social @everylibrary.bsky.social
Folks in #SanDiego, especially #LibraryDefenders, all of your city's libraries are at risk of being closed Sundays and Mondays under your mayor's proposed budget! Call the mayor and your council member to push back against these cuts! #Action www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...
The latest For The People newsletter reports on the project to collect governance related data about every U.S. public library system, data that surprisingly aren't collected by any national library organization. #LibraryDefenders #PublicLibraries librariesforthepeople.substack.com/p/for-the-pe...
Hey #SanDiego #LibraryDefenders Just read the terrible news that your mayor wants to close the libraries on Sun/Mon in order to spend more $ on police! Sounds like lorganizing a People's Assembly to pushback could be a good thing! www.librariesforthepeople.org/resources#pe...
Resisting at the federal level is critical, but so is building power locally. For The People has just released a new resource to help communities organize to strengthen their #libraries and better meet local needs: www.librariesforthepeople.org/resources#pe... #LibraryDefenders
Also get on the board of your library, get involved with your friends group, show up to board meetings! www.librariesforthepeople.org #LibraryDefenders
All #LibraryDefenders will want to read the latest newsletter from For The People! substack.com/home/post/p-...
@everylibrary.bsky.social Any suggestions for how #librarydefenders can protect #librarians and #libraries in #Georgia right now?
