Please share this with any and all of your friends from Appalachia - even if they’re from the same area as you. We would love to have as many accents as possible for this project.

The bold position taken by this candidate for State Librarian in New Hampshire? People should be able to read what they want to read. That's it. That's all. It's all so outrageous.

If you like talking about (or hearing others talk about!) leftist politics and movies, then check out the podcast I do with my friend Hal!

For our new episode, we watched John Sayles’ 1987 film MATEWAN and discussed the history of anti-union violence in the US.

Librarianship is a profession. We have established ethics, values, missions, and expertise.

Giving up control over library materials to a committee of non-librarians isn't just insulting, it is dangerous and diminishes the library itself.
