As proud ALA members and leftists, we stand with @edrabinski and against bigoted, reactionary politics
Montana’s State Library Commission has exited the American Library Association over the sexuality and leftist politics of the association president, bringing together a toxic stew of hysterical homophobia and classic red-baiting to attack public libraries.

It is happening in the US, it is happening in Ireland... Libraries will continue to be targets of hatred as long as fascists are enabled and accepted

Want to play a show at @DuboisRobeson ? Check these three slides for dates, how to book, and what to know.
Not a musician? That’s ok, help us by spreading the words to your friends in bands about playing a show at a friggin’ communist library!

Local-library systems, and local librarians, are being vilified nationwide as peddlers of Marxism and child pornography. Whatever faith there was in public learning and public space is fraying. nyer.cm/QAhQP5W

With completed renovations and ongoing investments — it was exciting to get a tour of @ProvLib, meet their thoughtful staff, and learn about their engaging programs for youth, teens, and adults because libraries are for everyone! 📚

HATRED STRIKES AGAIN! Last night an anti-communist message was sent to us in anticipation of our Red Books Day celebration of the publication of the Communist Manifesto. Last year they showed up with flags to intimidate, this year they threw bricks through the window.

We will not allow this amateurish (and crudely executed) act to stop us. The windows are being repaired today and Dave and Alex have been hard at work cleaning. Please join us tonight for our observation of Red Books Day! 6:30 pm
