Libraries are held up as a great equalizer, but in practice, they’re dogged by ideological problems, access barriers, and this idea that they’ve always been there and always will be.

Look around us. How much that you have taken for granted is being actively destroyed?

Stop letting these platitudes guide your thinking about bans. Get involved. Get loud. And if you’re lucky enough to have money, give it away—to libraries, organizations doing the work, individual readers and families who need direct mutual aid.

The arc only bends towards justice if we make it.

No for an answer is 100% fine 😊

@prisonculture.bsky.social also wisely recommends that we run for seats on our local library boards to direct the preservation of services.
