Loss of federal funding looks different at each library system 💔 Across the nation, libraries are laying off library workers, closing on weekends or entirely, stopping the ordering of new materials, eliminating summer reading programs ❤️‍🩹 🧵 1/2

Many libraries are unable to offer digital services, losing access to eBooks & audiobooks through Hoopla, through Libby. We can help! Libraries NEED us to use our outside voice, tell everyone what libraries mean to you! The Library is for Everyone 💛 📚🎨: @devthepineapple.bsky.social 🧵 2/2

@rickriordan.bsky.social How many books are you currently reading? 1. The Rose Bargain (For funsies) 2. Queer as Folklore (audiobook for multitasking) 3. 1984 (to know what's coming because I swear the country that I am in is starting to turn into George Orwell's FICTIONAL book) What about you?

National Literacy Institute: 21% of adults in the US were illiterate as of 2024. 54% of US adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level). Worldwide the US ranks 36th in literacy. This is horrifying. It also explains a lot.

Seat belts, everyone 💚 If you’re on the struggle bus, please remember your seat belt (your seat belt is self-care). It is NOT selfish to prioritize your mental health, take care of you. Visit your local library or favorite bookstore, watch your comfort show, drink some water, pet all the dogs… 💚

I loved each and every one of the characters that lived in that little perfect house. All of them have a special place in my heart. If you are looking for a book that is basically just a warm blanket, then this is the one for you. I don't know what took me so long to read it!
