Tom Brown's Schooldays & Tom Brown at Oxford | Thomas Hughes

Celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek & honoring all librarians in this brave new world of having to defend the right to read. Thomas Hughes Free Public Library pic is from yesterday's visit to Rugby, TN. The #library opened in 1882 with over 5000 donated books. The utopian community didn't succeed, but the library & 7000 books remain for visitors to peruse & appreciate. A few views to add to one from @plemmdog #litsylibrarians #litsylibrarian

The Last Chance Library | Freya Sampson

When the county council threatens to close the small-town library where June grew up and now works, it‘s all hands on deck to save it. June is an extreme introvert and struggles with stepping out of her comfort zone but she knows she can‘t stand by and let her library close.

The Bluest Eye | Toni Morrison

ALA announced the Top 10 Challenged Books of 2020 today as part of #NationalLibraryWeek.
Once again I will be counting down to #BannedBooksWeek Sep 26 - Oct 2 and reading Amy I haven't previously read.
Numbers 9,8,6,4,3, & 2.

GingerAntics LGBTQIA+ has been supplanted as the top reason things were banned for “promotes anti-police message.” I don‘t get how calling out bad cops is anti-police, but okay. Not surprised Stamped got challenged and banned in places. There are some white people truly up in arms about anything that says they might not be the superior race or that they might have done something wrong. 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @GingerAntics Sorry I didn't see your reply until now. For some reason Litsy is not show up in my phone notifications. 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @GingerAntics absolutely I see that here where I live whole bunch of white Republicans acting like they've done nothing wrong. 4y

GingerAntics @Crinoline_Laphroaig oh let‘s see...just off the top of my head...they‘ve voted in people who actively restrict voting rights, they insist of forcing their religious beliefs on others (“freedom of religion” only applies to you apparently), they‘ve looked the other way or full on supported systemic racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia... they‘re right. They‘re so innocent. 🤦🏼‍♀️🥃 4y

GingerAntics @Crinoline_Laphroaig those people are so deluded, but if you try to come from a “lived experience” angle they lose their bloody minds. 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @GingerAntics I'm looking forward to reading

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You

GingerAntics @Crinoline_Laphroaig I have the adult version on audio. I should have listened to it in February.

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've read the rest of the list. Just because I love it so I'll Definitely will be rereading

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Presents a Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo

BookInMyHands Sex is a funny Word is the best sex education book for kids. I love it so much I bought it for home (usually we just check books out). Also, my home collection is very white and straight, so if I buy books it has to be written by a person of color or queer (for the most part). 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @BookInMyHands I don't have kid's. So I always check my Library first. If they don't have print copy I will buy, read, and donate. 5y

Since it is currently #NationalLibraryWeek, I knew I needed to stop by sometime this week. Well, after work today I was feeling it so I stopped to pick up a little mini #bookhaul.
