For National Library Week

Thanks, but also, library funding (and access) is really state by state. In Vermont, right now, we still have our books. There are challenges for schools and DEI materials and I am waiting to see if schools push back or not (I think they will, but maybe not). Other more conservative states have been dealing with challenges pretty much since there have been public libraries and they have increased significantly in the past decade and especially the past year.

Please understand that I say this with love but doomer talk about the end of public libraries in the US does not help and is upsetting to at least this one librarian who hangs out here. "I support you as you deal with this serious crisis" is helpful. It's National Library Week, stand with us as we weather this awful awful storm.

Apologies @jessamyn, I as a complete outsider was just making a generalised comment about the state of play as a whole. I now realise that on a micro level that has consequences. I say everything with love for you guys and acknowledge the shitstorm you are experiencing. I have edited the post as a result.

@Argie Thanks, we are really full up with worry. Hugs.
