The Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative ( #RRSI) is calling for comments on the 2025 update to its 2007 manifesto.
https://rethinkingresourcesharing.org/manifesto-2/
Here's the 2007 version. (At the moment, the 2025 version uses a bad link for this version.)
https://rethinkingresourcesharing.org/manifesto/
I'm off to an event tonight hosted by CAVAL and Informit which is a screening of the documentary The Librarians, followed by a panel discussion featuring @saera, Holly Hammond, Malii Jorm and Angela Savage.
All about the right to read & democracy and the role of Librarians in protecting these things. Very much around Librarians as guardians. Super looking forward to it.
Tix still available. See you there?

#PSA #CallToAction #NYC #Libraries
Hey, New Yorkers, time to put all that joy and enthusiasm to work: demand that the city council allocate .5% (yes, HALF of a percent) of the city budget to the city's libraries--because fuck Eric Adams, and because you NEED those libraries to work properly.
You can use the link below or contact the council directly, but you NEED to act.
#PSA #CallToAction #Chicago #Libraries
In the same vein, the are budget proposals to cut significant funding to Chicago's libraries. People need to continue speaking out about it, and make the city fix the budget to keep that funding.

And now for better news:
18 of the 20 levies to fund libraries in Ohio passed; these monies will compensate the lack of state funding that Mike DeWine enabled by changing the formula to fund public libraries with a one line item.
And the two levies who didn't pass, lost by narrow margins.
"Since 2008, 92% of all library levies on Ohio ballots have been approved by voters, according to the Ohio Library Council."

"Banned Books Week is being quietly banned in public libraries across the US. This is a political choice in an era where libraries continue to claim being "not political."--Kelly Jensen
