I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Happy Black History Month! Did you know that according to PEN America, 44% of the books banned during the 2023-2024 school year featured people and characters of color? Black voices struggle to be heard in the writing world - help listen by reading a Black-authored book! pen.org/book-bans/

Currently reading Doppelgangers by Naomi Klein (checked it out from Libby)! I think it's a very good analysis of our current political phenomenon - definitely recommend!

In the last week, we have sold completely out of: Ellen Hopkins (good choice as she's one of the most banned authors in the country rn), Nicholas Sparks (by a teacher so her kids can read them), Patricia Briggs (multigenerational fantasy reading!) AND Louis L'Amour (because cowboys)-all in one week!
