I'm #standingontheshouldersofgiants And the view is beautiful. If ever I have seen further than others, It has been courtesy of #theblerdandthebeautiful. If ever I've been #tenstepsahead of others, It has been courtesy of #walkinginthefootsteps of the #blacklibrarians that have transformed the library into something beautiful. Whenever I look #beyondthewallsofthelibrary, I am no longer confined to the confines of my cubicle. When I'm standing on the shoulders of giants, I see #thelibraryasagalleryspace, I see #thelibraryasacenterforthearts. Ain't that beautiful?! How could you not #thinkbeyondthebooks, When you're thinking of the library? Don't you know you there's #spokenwordatthelibrary #poetryatthelibrary #musicatthelibrary #jazzatthelibrary #artatthelibrary?! #CatherineALatimer, #ReginaAnderson, #NellaLarsen, #DorisKWells, And #TeresaTotten Have taught us to #LIBRARYOUTLOUD And always remember: "The library doesn't exist without the community And the cornerstone of a good community is a great library." But don't mind me, I jus' have an affinity for the well read black girl and bookish vibes. Someday I promise to get my head out of the clouds Yet until then I'll be standing on the shoulders of giants, Chanting #istillbelievein398point2 until I wake the sleeping giant and my dreams come alive. -Stevie, #scribesandvibes #protectblacknerdhood / #blerdandbeautiful homage https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOk4T0hQ2r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ylqk3uh4enep
