WHEN THERE’S FREE DONUTS IN THE STAFF LOUNGE, BUT YOU’RE ON THE DESK

[closet-keys]

every article written about how libraries are “outdated” or aren’t used anymore is written by someone who has not visited a library in at least 20 years, and probably could not adequately define what a library is if given the chance.

Stop ironically stanning Dolly Parton and start acknowledging her for the genius that she is

[unwastelandunbaby]

her nonprofit the imagination library sends out monthly books, completely free of charge, to any child that wants it. anyone who knows anything about reading education will tell you that simply putting books into children’s homes is the best way to promote literacy. they even have braille and audio options!

we love dolly

As a Children’s Librarian I can testify that kids who grow up w/ books, see people reading, and have access to books grow up to be readers.

Dolly Parton also is a musical and songwriting genius. She's written over 3,000 songs and plays seven instruments.

She's supported charities benefiting Appalachia and shut down racism and misogyny for decades. She's incredibly brave.

Everyone needs to put some respect on her name.
