If you are not reading @sm_wordsmith @manga_librarian @BespokeLib @emratica & Sybil “Mouna” Toure's book MANGA GOES TO SCHOOL, you are missing out! They are sharing so many reasons Manga belongs on our shelves, and great titles to help us get there! #BossLibrarianPD

This was a great session! I really needed to hear that one simple tip (permission) to focus on getting multiple copies of the first 3-5 books instead of 1 copy of all 50 titles in a series. 😂

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

One librarian has had enough of the ‘false narrative’ that libraries are serving porn to kids via books with LGBTQ themes. She’s fighting back in court. nbcnews.to/3pkqtKR
