Can you believe there’s so many of us?! :D This labor of love continues to grow each year and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

As always, feel free to keep the Library love going by adding any Libraries we missed/don’t know of yet! And, naturally, if you haven’t followed US yet… Well, this week’s the perfect time to start, wouldn’t you say? ;)

Never forget we Libraries love all of our bookworms and library cats, and your support online and in person (*hint hint nudge nudge*) make all the difference! So stay gold, and keep visiting your Libraries!

Happy National Library Week, library cats!

The Grim Conclusions of the Largest-Ever Study of Fake News

Falsehoods almost always beat out the truth on Twitter, penetrating further, faster, and deeper into the social network than accurate information.

“In short, social media seems to systematically amplify falsehood at the expense of the truth, and no one—neither experts nor politicians nor tech companies—knows how to reverse that trend.”

We shape our online reality and social media makes it hard respond to information responsibly. Fact check before you share!

“But her eye, that torch or the soul, is untamed, and in the intensity of her reading, we see a soul invincibly young in faith and hope.” – Margaret Fuller, from Woman in the 19th Century.

Ten Reasons Libraries Are Still Better Than the Internet | American Libraries Magazine

Even the smartest phone’s intelligence is limited by paywalls, Twitter trolls, fake news, and other online hazards. Here are 10 reasons why libraries are still better than the internet.

YAAAASSSSSS.

[libraryadvocates]

The latest #NetNeutrality update has been posted to District Dispatch. It includes ways that you can get involved today. If you haven’t already, take some time to call or email your Senators and Representatives. Ask them to support net neutrality and tell them how your libraries benefit from strong, enforceable net neutrality protections.

Join protests online with some suggested social media messages on December 13 and 14:

Hey @AjitPaiFCC – America’s 120,000 libraries depend on equitable and robust access to the internet to serve our communities. We need #netneutrality!

.@FCC – Our libraries’ digital collections, podcasts, video tutorials, and more rely on an open internet. @AjitPaiFCC, keep #netneutrality!

#netneutrality is the First Amendment of the internet. @FCC, please protect the right to read, create and share freely without commercial gatekeepers.

OR tell us a story about what net neutrality means for your library and tag @ALALibrary, @FCC, @AjitPaiFCC
