Appreciating the ‘powerful good’ of the public library
As the American Library Association bestows its 2018 “I Love My Librarian” awards, librarian Kristen Arnett expresses her humble opinion on why visiting a library is the best way to show your appreciation:
Everyone says they want to support their local library, like they support using reusable water bottles, no cell phones at the dinner table, and the quiet car on trains.
But do they really? Folks tend to think of libraries in the abstract. It’s less a physical space and more of a concept, a powerful good in the universe that everyone believes in unconditionally, like Santa Claus or Beyonce.
So how do you support your library? Leave a nice comment on their blog? An appreciative Facebook post? A well-timed tweet about them that gets a zillion retweets?
Zoë Kravitz says to find your magic at the library!
How cool is it that Zoë Kravitz is a fan of libraries?!! She’s starring in video PSAs to shine a light on libraries and all they do to open up new enchanting worlds like those in Fantastic Beasts: the Crimes of Grindelwald. You can learn more at http://www.ilovelibraries.org/zoe-kravitz
