From Sokka in ALTA to Arthur singing it isn't hard to get a library card to Libby/CloudLibrary/Hoopla controlling what we read next, the library is one of our most loved, democratic, and fundamental spaces to have. Learn about the history of libraries to why supporting now matters more than ever. Libraries are for the people; but only the people can save libraries.

What an incredible and important list, thank you for putting it together!
Also, THANK YOU for this list and spotlighting the importance of libraries!
my fav place and my form of "outreach" đ
Ok I think I actually didn't finish it because of an audiobook situation, but might I suggest The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu?
I LOVED that book. Yes, it would totally fit on this list. Amazing what they did!
a wonderful suggestion! thank you, I'll add it :)
Iâm a librarian and I support this list đŤĄ
thank your for your support, fellow librarian đŤĄ
oooh omg this looks so cool!
Vital list đ
I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list to read in November BUT "The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading" by James Patterson & Matt Eversmann seems like it would fit.
my librarian brain must have blocked it out bc of James Patterson âđź /j (kinda) it totally fits, thanks hannah I will add it! đ
lol I saw the title and wanted to read it and then I saw JP and was so confused đ
SAME! I was like, "oh YAY" and then, "oh NO" tsk tsk librarian trauma
I love this list, I have a few on my shelf!
oh yay!! I've only read about 1/4 so excited to see more people read about libraries!
I consider it to be foundational knowledge đ¤ they are in my little professional reference collection with all GLAM books
