World War 2 poster with the title Books Are Weapons In The War Of Ideas. Drawing of Nazis burning books with a quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt that reads: "Books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny. In this war, we know, books are weapons."

If you have 5 minutes... Call Congress. a March 14 executive order designed to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services would cut our libraries - among the most beloved and trusted of American institutions - off at the knees and block critical information access for millions of Americans, particularly in rural areas. Tell your representatives to fight for IMLS and libraries! bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries.

Witty bibliophiles.

May we all be so lucky as to start a week this way 📚📖🥃

@montyharper.com reminded me that it’s National Library Week ~ I love all kinds of books especially graphic novels! what books do your kids get inspired by? #righttoreadday #drawntofreedom youtu.be/t5R6pb5fkYg?...
Today is Right to Read Day. Libraries are more than just books. Everyone should always have the right to read and the right to access information for free.
Take action against book bans and the defunding of libraries. Find more information on @uabookbans.bsky.social

I’m an official librarian’s husband myself, and I definitely support this message. Read all you can, while you can! #NationalLibraryWeek #RightToReadDay #DrawnToFreedom #BookSky
The logo for Drawn to the Library: National Library Week 2025 (four cartoon scenes of people enjoying activities at the library) and the words "Drawn to Freedom at Queens Public Library."

What can you find at the library? In a word: FREEDOM. Pro-books. Pro-authors. Pro-libraries. Anti-censorship. 🇺🇸 #RightToReadDay #DrawnToFreedom #RightToRead #freadom
Let me see those banned or censored books!
“Here's a book about lung cancer. You see, all the cigarette smokers got into a panic, so for everybody's peace of mind, we burn it.”

Happy #NationalLibraryWeek! For #RightToReadDay I’m reflecting on the safe space libraries offered me growing up. I spent most of my time after school at the library so I know first hand how important it can be for kids that feel out of place. @uabookbans.bsky.social #DrawnToFreedom #comics

I wrote this song for @uabookbans.bsky.social #RightToReadDay. Many thanks to all who participated in the video and to @evalyninthelibrary.bsky.social for putting it all together! Here's a clip of the chorus:
#DrawnToFreedom #HandsOff #skybrarians #edusky
4 comic panels: 1) a woman types on a laptop, with a heart on the screen. 2) a public library building exterior. 3) A different woman and child choose books with hearts on the covers from a display. 4) The woman and child hold the books they've chosen, smiling.
Quick sketch on this #RightToReadDay of what it feels like to share the stories of my heart. I have always been drawn to the freedom to choose the stories I love at the library. I won't stop fighting for the right to read.
Step up and help @UABookBans protect the #FreedomToRead. #DrawnToFreedom

Picture of an overcrowded Ikea Billy, with shelves bowing under the weight of too many nonfiction books. Carved wooden chair visible in foreground (blocking view of some textbooks).
In honor of #RightToReadDay, here is an obviously real, too-ugly-to-be-AI-generated #shelfie.
At this terrifying time, [Protect Our] Right to Read Day feels like an appropriate way to kick off #NationalLibraryWeek.
