This powerful, provocative talk should be shown at every meeting of library boards, library staff, and community funding bodies.

If you value literacy, reading, and learning, and believe in public spaces and civil society, then we can play a part in challenging myths and advocating for our libraries, museums, and art galleries.

A place where you can find books that you can’t get online, and you can socialize without being drunk... 🤔 a place where quality people can meet... a place where you can make resumes, and, print them out...
