Your right to seek and receive information from all points of view should not be restricted, but proposed legislation would run contrary to the First Amendment. Retain IA Code 728 as it stands, and retain your freedom to read. #IALibrariesDay2022 #LoveIALibraries

Libraries provided curbside service, virtual story times & programs, online help, and so much more, often with pandemic impacted budgets. Financial relief would allow them to provide innovative solutions to our pandemic problems. #IALibrariesDay2022 #LoveIALibraries

School Librarians do more than check out books, they provide valuable instruction to students and support classroom teachers, and should be recognized as instructional staff for the work they do as a part of an educational team! #IALibrariesDay2022 #LoveIALibraries

Direct State Aid funding for libraries helps them modernize infrastructure, update technology, and provide innovative services. This funding benefits hundreds of Iowa communities through their public libraries. #IALibrariesDay2022 #LoveIALibraries

Sharing resources across the state is easier than ever with IAShares for interlibrary loans. Funding this service helps libraries share books, DVDs, and more with library patrons and operate more cost-effectively. #IALibrariesDay2022 #LoveIALibraries

Every dollar invested in the State Library helps fulfill the mission to improve service for all by partnering with public libraries, but every year of flat funding means doing more with less. #IALibrariesDay2022 #LoveIALibraries

My colleague, John Elson, shared this OER textbook by Gwen Sinclair re: gov info for ref librarians. The title indicates a focus on Hawaii, but after a quick glance, it looks like great info for all. I just learned about the "glomar response"! pressbooks.oer.hawaii.edu/lis648/front-m… @pressbooks

@librarianmer I had this experience back in the day but they would come into my office, close the door, and vent at me for 10-20 minutes about what they "wanted to say" w/ a "thanks for saying something!" before they waltzed out & paid no professional penalties for it. Virtual hug. I'm sorry.
