"What do you do?" "I'm a librarian." "So your job is, what, putting little stickers on books? Stuff like that?" "I fire the engines of democracy. I grease society's wheels. I defend the virtue of egalitarianism." "And do you also put little stickers on books?" "...yes. Yes I do."

do you ever just want to open a door half covered by ivy in a forgotten wood and vanish into a hidden library where you will find cake and finally finish writing your book

I get exhausted having to explain to adults that yes, kids still read books. kids read a *lot* of books. kids love reading, it's when they grow up and become parents with jobs that they fall out of the habit.

8 of the 10 top banned books of 2019 were banned because of LGBTQIA+ content. We encourage you to choose a banned book for #RainbowBookMonth. #BannedBooksList @GLBTRT

'Book' is a descendant of the 'beech'; 'paper' came from 'papyrus'; 'library' is from the Latin 'liber', 'bark', and 'true' is a sibling of 'tree', with the idea of something solid, firm, and steadfast. I love the way language has wrapped itself around trees.

It amazes me that there are people who hate the Dog Thoughts account and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s whimsical tweets, when they are just trying to illuminate the gloom of twitter with some joy and encouragement. A thing isn’t frivolous just because it’s hopeful and kind.
Library Thoughts retweeted
No one ever fell in love with reading by being shamed into it. We fell in love with reading because we stumbled on a book we couldn’t put down, that seemed to be stitched together with ink and magic.
