This morning, I met with BC Public Library Partners to understand their advocacy in increasing support to our public libraries in B.C. Libraries are beyond just a place for books; they are supporting our loved ones through their services. We will continue to work together.

A great workshop with my amazing @nvdpl fellow Board trustees, senior exec and staff. We had lots of wonderful discussion and collaboration working on our new strategic plan. It’s exciting to be part of the engaging process to create the new plan. @BCLTA @NVanDistrict

Thank you @Forbes. This honor truly belongs to library ⁦workers + advocates everywhere. “I feel like history…is going to judge us. And I think that if we keep going in the way that we are, I think we as librarians will be on the right side of history.” forbes.com/sites/erinspen…

Thank you to President @BarackObama for supporting libraries and the freedom to read. And thank you to all library workers on the front lines "fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone." #UniteAgainstBookBans
Barack Obama@BarackObama

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Toronto Public Library is right to allow someone I profoundly disagree with a place to speak thestar.com/opinion/star-c… It would have been all too predictable for an institution like the library to deny a controversial speaker the right to use its space.

"In an age dominated by algorithms, going to a good library feels a little like replenishing your brain with the variety of all that is available to you in the world. That might serve as a saving grace in a time when so many of us long for that decompression..."
Eric Klinenberg@EricKlinenberg

"The library is worth defending not just because it’s important to our society as a whole. It’s important because it helps us understand lives we believe to be unlike ours, understanding that can help us unlock our most empathetic and authentic selves" nytimes.com/2023/07/17/opi…
