Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!

This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

Thanks libraries! And thanks borrowers from libraries - you get free books, we get Public Lending Right! Good show all round.

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

Go to the library.

Things are never so bad that they can't get worse. No matter how bad it gets or how much you lose, as long as you draw breath, there will be a next day and another after that. You will protect, give voice, survive, and overcome. You are the flame that tyranny cannot extinguish.

Has anyone tried unplugging the country and plugging it back in?

I need say no more...

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.
