Wednesday Actions for National Library Week
Get the word out to your networks!
It’s Day Three of National Library Week (April 23–29), and we’re back with three fun and easy actions you can take to strengthen public libraries!
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26: BROADCAST YOUR SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES!
Action #1 - Share what you’re doing this week on socials!
Use that screen time for good: hop on social media and share your favorite action, statistic, or image from our gallery below (click through to find full-size images and suggested captions). Use the hashtags #LibraryDefender, #UniteAgainstBookBans and #NationalLibraryWeek and tag friends in your posts.
Action #2 - Print out a postcard, bookmark, or flyer detailing 10 Things You Can Do To Help Public Libraries!
You know that taking action locally is the only way anything will change - so help your friends and neighbors get started! Download and print our TEN WAYS TO HELP YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY guide, as a flyer, bookmark, or postcard. Post it online in neighborhood groups and on social media, and print your own copies to post on local bulletin boards, in coffeeshops and bookstores, and throughout other public areas.
Action #3 - Score amazing LIBRARY DEFENDER gear!
Rep your support for public libraries with your whole chest. These awesome designs are by Noah Jodice, and are available in a variety of super-soft styles (tees, tanks, crewnecks, hoodies, etc) and in a range of gorgeous colors.
All proceeds will be used to support access costs for our events (ASL interpretation, transcription, etc.) and other basic needs. Choose from two great designs - LIBRARIES ARE FOR THE PEOPLE and PUBLIC LIBRARY DEFENDER - or don’t choose, and order both!
We’re halfway through National Library Week, so this is the perfect time to share and celebrate the actions you’ve taken this week in support of libraries. Whether by sharing posts on social media, downloading and printing some action guides, or ordering a super awesome library defender T-shirt, now is the time to be loud about your love of free public space and the importance of fighting censorship and book bans.
Stay tuned for more actions tomorrow!
