The Library Is a Magical Place and You Should Fucking Go There

According to the article, 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴, there is evidence to suggest library usage increases student success and the overall academic experience (Brown & Malenfant, 2017). Information literacy is an important tool to learn and utilize. But without libraries, opportunities for this would be far and in between. And without librarians and library staff, it wouldn’t exist at all. This week was #NationalLibraryWeek. Celebrate by connecting with your library and the people who make it possible. 💛🖤 #uidaho #uidaholibrary #loveyourlibrary #library #librariesofinstagram #librariansofinstagram #connectwithyourlibrary #academiclife #academiclibrary #learnmore #mylibrary #investinlibraries #fundlibraries (at University of Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGQLfrJYwH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's National Library Week and we have books on the brain! 📚In 2018, Anselm Kiefer's "Uraeus" took center stage at @rockefellercenter. The artist's fascination with books took sculptural form in his first site-specific outdoor public sculpture ever to be commissioned for the United States. #AnselmKiefer #nationallibraryweek 📷 by @nicholasknightstudio (at Rockefeller Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNaTEX0lArR/?igshid=19bni3hzpp118

Today is #LibraryWorkersDay & we want to thank our staff for what they do every day, but particularly for the work they've done since our closure. They have continued to provide valuable programming & support their communities during these uncertain times.

Fun fact, your local library has tons of books about writing and publishing, including Writer’s Market, which lists current agencies and publishing houses, as well as what sort of writing they accept.  Do yourself a favor and check them out!

It’s National Library Week!

The Montana Avenue Branch Library opened as a storefront library in February 1952 in a rented building at 1528-30 Montana Avenue (see the bottom image). After seven years, the library's circulation climbed past 80,000 items, outgrowing its rented space. Two lots on Montana Avenue were purchased, and in August 1959, groundbreaking ceremonies were conducted at 1704 Montana Avenue. Designed by Weldon Fulton, the new Montana Branch opened to much fanfare on March 1, 1960.
