What, seriously (2/2)? The #moomin are coming to #newyork in a first-ever US exhibition celebrating the work of Finnish artist #tovejansson and her whimsical cartoon characters. The exhibition, titled ‘Tove Jansson and the Moomins: The Door Is Always Open,’ will open at the #brooklynpubliclibrary's central branch 28 June and transform the historic space into the Moominvalley world.

#Oklahoma revoked the teaching certificate of Summer Boismier because she set up a classroom display of #BannedBooks and gave her students a link to the #BrooklynPublicLibrary service providing free online access to banned books.

From Boismier: "I've never had a teaching certificate revoked…, let alone revoked for informing [high school students] that #libraries exist online too."

Leaders of New York City's three library systems have for months warned that if budget cuts instituted last year and funding reductions that together total nearly $60 million included in Mayor Eric Adams' executive budget are enacted, Saturday service across the five boroughs' 219 branches could be eliminated

Hey New Yorkers (the city): Brooklyn Public Library requests your help in maintaining funding. Mayor Adams' fascist budget cuts have already strained libraries to their limits, leading to reductions in hours and services offered. They're asking us to sign an open letter to city leaders in support of library funding.

Books Unbanned | The Seattle Public Library

This brilliant program makes #ebooks and #audiobooks available to teens and young adults anywhere in the country. It was started by #brooklynpubliclibrary and #seattlepubliclibrary is the second one to join in helping kids and young people everywhere access books being banned by the religious right.

I hate that it has to exist. I love that it does.

If you know or are a young person living somewhere where books are getting banned because adults are afraid of change, follow the link and get your free card to private access to all the books.

Last year, Brooklyn Public Library asked kids to write about censorship in their schools and libraries. The results were both sobering and hopeful.

@sjgochenour On the BirdSite, I was following a lot of the BIPOC writers that I'd read and enjoyed. They generally recommended a lot of other great writers. Also, I attended the #BrooklynPublicLibrary's Climate Read bookclub on Zoom for the first year of the pandemic. Lots of great recommendations there.
