    Every so often someone tweets something stupid about closing libraries and the outpouring of love and support for libraries in response makes me think we just might be okay after all. (Also we might not, the guy from the apprentice is literally the president)

        Libraries are quite simply one of the best ideas that humans ever had. Easily top 3.

        Love libraries. Literally taught myself my job at The New York Public Library main branch.

        I will never stop supporting libraries! The opportunities my kids were able to have through our library were outstanding. And the support that is given to at risk members of the community cannot be forgotten...even if it's just a warm place to spend a few hours.

        Consider becoming a library trustee.

        Every time I go to a library and see the sheer variety of programs they provide, and how many folks are in there using essential services, I want to cry and go hug every single person making it possible. Thank you!

        Our town last year voted extra taxes to build a new library building. Libraries are essential for democracy, providing Reading, research & refuge for all!
