Andersen Press accidentally sent me more than one finished copy of Kwame Alexander's new YA book, 'Black Star', sequel to 'The Door of No Return'. If you're UK based & would like an early copy (publishes in feb) then just share this post by Friday 17th Jan & I'll pick 1 person to send a copy!

Thank you for a thought provoking read @librarianmer.bsky.social. I came to bluesky looking for new ideas to get me thinking and that is what I've found!
I felt the same way when I read it last year. Just what we need to inspire us to cast off the constraints capitalism has placed on our imagination & start imagining radically different visions of the future. I wrote about it a bit in my essay on Community Time and Enoughness bit.ly/3PxSpb4

Something to think on.
"If we keep looking at librarianship and libraries as dealing with the deficits of the community instead of healing the community, we end up in a dangerous spiral."
"If we keep looking at librarianship and libraries as dealing with the deficits of the community instead of healing the community, we end up in a dangerous spiral."
We need a new information literacy. An information literacy that is no longer about generating skepticism with methods of interrogating information sources, but instead about coping with a world where ALL information is seen as suspect.

Can’t stop thinking about @mridulakoshy.bsky.social’s clarity when we met earlier this week: We can’t think of the library as an island when the world outside our gates is bent on dismantling us. We must address the systems that produce our precarity.
