OMG! A story about #library#weeding that actually seems to get the issues right, and a parent group that is focusing on the right problems in the process.
"'Empty shelves with absolutely no books': Students, parents question school board's library weeding process"
Part-time 24/7 Co-op Reference Librarian at Springshare. MLS degree required. WFH, but applicant's physical location must be in USA in FL, NY, MA, PA, KY, TX, CA, or WA.
Negotiations at Western are not going well. The association has asked the conciliator to file a "no-board report". Seventeen days after this report is filed (and assuming that a strike vote has been held), the librarians at UWO will be in a legal strike position.

@fskornia thanks for saving the #manuals! @internetarchive has a growing collection at https://archive.org/details/manuals & requests uploads. There are some good things about today's internet! Let's support both physical & digital #libraries, & the conscientious #librarians who will defend the authentic info on which our cultural and physical lives may depend.
If any libraries want to carry The Sad Bastard Cookbook, put me in touch with them and we'll send them free copies. Libraries are vital community spaces and dramatically underfunded, plus being in libraries is literally my dream. #library#librarians#Cookbook
(Same goes for my novella Query, but the cookbook has gone viral so I feel like people are more likely to request a copy of that.)
Calling all #librarians. I've been trying to figure out for years if it would be possible to work in a library as a totally blind person, given that it involves working with print books and computer systems that may or may not be screen reader accessible, and none of the librarians I know have an answer. Does anyone here know, or have any resources you could point me toward? Specifically public or school #libraries, not academic ones, and not the Library for the Blind.
