  1. Exploring the Library’s Photography Books – Shelf Talk

    Exploring the Library’s Photography Books

    February 2, 2026

    I love reading photography books. Flipping through their pages brings a much-needed sense of creativity and inspiration, while also providing a window into history, community, connection, and the world around us. Here are some that I have enjoyed recently:

    Pilgrimage

    Annie Leibovitz travels to locations that hold meaning for her, including Emily Dickinson’s house in Amherst, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, the homes of Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin, Thoreau’s cabin on Walden Pond, and more.

    National Geographic: The Photo Ark

    A collection featuring Joel Sartore’s lifelong project to make striking portraits of the world’s animals, especially those who are endangered, reminding us of the beauty of so many species. 

    Eye Dreaming

    Photographer Anthony Barboza refers to the act of looking at the world as “eye dreaming,” in which he remains open to glimpsing people and places that feel familiar. In capturing them on film, he finds connection and art in the everyday. 

    France is a Feast 

    This collection features Paul Child’s photos of Julia Child and their life together in France, along with personal stories told by Paul’s great-nephew Alex Prud’homme.

  3. 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.
