Tommy Valdez: I just ended a two year stint working for a library software company, and can genuinely say without hesitation that librarians fucking rock. They are pillars of the community who should be protected at all cost. Need books on divorce? Resources on coming out? Narcan training? They do it all.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

I spent three years working for a library technology company and yes to all of the above.
