Over the weekend, the Library of Congress posted this video message Dr. Carla Hayden, whom Donald Trump unjustifiably dismissed as Librarian of Congress, that makes clear how much the nation has lost.

Props to whoever put it up. I hope everyone watches it.

Jeff Slagell led a fun discussion titled From Buns to Tattoos: The Portrayal of Librarians in Popular Culture at #MLANET25. Everyone agreed that many portrayals are stereotypical and harmful to our profession. However, there were also some positive representations shared! #medlibs

The Institute for Museum and Library Services Is Now a Propaganda Machine: Book Censorship News, March 21, 2025 DOGE didn't dismantle the only federal agency supporting public libraries. It was instead turned into a propaganda machine. That, plus this week's book censorship news.

By being β€œin lockstep” with the Admin, the IMLS will not support the range of projects & initiatives it has been since its inception. Instead, it will support projects, ideas, & institutions which align with values & beliefs aligned with the oligarchical ruling class.
