#BookBans & attempted bans remain at record highs, acc/to the American #Library Association, & efforts to have titles removed have never been more coordinated or politicized. The #ALA on Monday issued its annual list of the #books most challenged at the country’s #libraries, part of the association’s State of America’s Libraries Report. #education #censorship #indoctrination #racism #misogyny #heterosexism #law #fascism #CultureWars #FarRight #extremism #Republicans https://apnews.com/article/bans-challenged-books-american-library-association-5403280786cf95111d4c9eb4b587c4be

Good morning. 📚📖☕ 16 March 2026 Yesterday, Charlie and I made a Goodwill run, which means it’s time to start filling the box again. By “box,” I mean the large cardboard catch‑all in the laundry room where we toss things we no longer use but someone else might. I also drop in those little trinket gifts charities send. I never use them. Mailing labels are the lone exception — those I’ll keep. While I was at it, I pulled a couple of old technical books off my bookcase and tossed them in the back of the truck. This morning, I want to tackle the bookcase itself and finally fit the novels that have been lounging around the house back into it. I keep telling myself I should take a break from buying new books and reread some of the ones I already own. But how does one resist a new release from a favorite author? C’est la vie. Maybe what I really need is a bigger bookcase. I do wonder if keeping books counts as hoarding. It would certainly explain the little piles that keep appearing in my office. I mean, what do you do with a book you’ve just finished? You put it on the bookcase — or, if there’s no room, you put it next to the bookcase. Then the next one joins it, and the next, and so on. Eventually you look at the growing stack and think, Well, I really need to do something about that. And so it becomes out with the old and in with the new. My library has been slowly shifting from books of knowledge to books that entertain. After all, I’m done with all that going‑to‑work business. Life isn’t about what I need to know anymore — it’s about what I want to know. “Reading books is good. Rereading good books is better.” — Lawrence Clark Powell “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” — Cicero “One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person… To read is to voyage through time.” — Carl Sagan #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #nature #plants #books #library #life

I love this so much. The Washington DC public library has started a new project called Friendship Benches. You can sign up for a time slot to go to a public library and talk with a volunteer "grandparent" who has been trained to listen. The program is up and running at several DC library locations. What a beautiful, analog solution to the estrangement of our current times! Public libraries rock. #Library #PublicLibrary https://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/15725662

Perusing a review from a couple years back. "Libraries seeking stories that hold the overlay of fantasy & the literary strength of a psychological probe of leadership, downfalls, redemption & transformation on a personal and community-wide level will find The Redemption of Jarek a powerful interplay of forces that also deserves book club recommendation and debate." Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review/Donovan's Literary Services, January 2024. http://donovansliteraryservices.com/january-2024-issue.html#roj #Bookstodon #fantasy #review #library #redemption #WritingCommunity

That thing where you wait 75 weeks for a popular e-book from your local library, but—because the app over-notifies and you've switched notifications off—you miss the short window when the book comes available. #Libby #app #ebook #audiobook #library #online
