Calling all UK & US #publiclibraryworkers! Please consider completing this timely and important research survey by my UCL Department of Information Studies MA student @juliagmac.bsky.social, examining #publiclibrary "neutrality" amid cuurent cultural-political polarisation. #critlis #librarysky

Drawing of an elephant's legs, stepping on the tail of the mouse, with the following quote by Desmond Tutu sandwiched between the legs and trunk of the elephant: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

"If...knowledge (...know-how) and thought have parted company for good, then we would indeed become the helpless slaves, not so much of our machines as of our know-how, thoughtless creatures at the mercy of every gadget which is technically possible, no matter how murderous it is." H. Arendt, 1958

Solidarity with all liberatory workers this #MayDay, epecially those resisting colonial oppression and wars around the world. #FreePalestine #FreeCongo #FreeSudan #FreeYemen #FreeLenabon #FreeUkraine #ResistTrumpism #PeoplesMovement

Black and white poster in a DIY-zine graphic style from 1971. All-caps header at the top reads MAYDAY!, connected to a subheading in the middle 'If the government does't stop the war, we will stop the government. The bottom third of the image is a group of protestors charging together forwards towards the right of the page, fists raised and mouths open with expressions of defiance and social outrage.

Currently finalising a book chapter I'm writing on #Tricontinental library materials & workshops at @sussexlibrary.bsky.social @ids.ac.uk. Found this amazing poster produced in 1967 by an unknown artist for #OSPAAAL. Resonates as much now as it did then. Source: www.docspopuli.org/CubaWebCat/d...
