- Reposted by Pens-and-WritingIt's officially #TakeActionForLibraries Day! To celebrate and advocate for libraries and library funding, we want every library lover to make their voice heard today. Head to ala.org/showup to take action by calling or emailing Congress, writing a letter to your local newspaper, and more!

- Reposted by Pens-and-WritingNEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)
- Reposted by Pens-and-WritingHey, so it's National Library Week. You're going to see a lot of calls to get a library card and check out books. All well and good. But I'm going to ask you to do something a little more supportive: speak up.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

- Reposted by Pens-and-WritingPlease do support your local libraries. We're losing 40 libraries a year. They are such an essential part of our communities. Please, if you can, contact your MP or councillors before its too late. @librariesconnected.bsky.social @theguardian.com www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Reposted by Pens-and-WritingTrump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA. The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out. Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding. bit.ly/ProtectLibraryFunding
- Library funding is looking to be slashed under Trump. Please please call your senators. The right to free education should be available for everyone (plus I'll be out of a job). oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edi...
