Very much looking forward to seeing this film. Thinking of all our US librarian friends just now. #LibrariesAreEssential
The Librarians: Chilling new documentary at the Sundance film festival examines the phenomenon of book banning in US schools ‘Civil rights fight of our time’.

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” Elie Wiesel #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD2025
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) shows us where prejudice can lead when it is normalised and encouraged. Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. We also commemorate the millions more people murdered through the Nazi persecution of other groups, and in the more recent genocides recognised by the UK government, and the genocide in Darfur. Prejudice has not ended and there is much to do to create a better future. #HMD2025 #HolocaustMemorialDay

@OrkneyLibrary @AnnCleeves Yes, but not because of YOU. I bet he still gets all his ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and newspapers online with US! 😉

@OrkneyLibrary @AnnCleeves And it was cut because they didn’t want the book to be confused as belonging in the FANTASY genre.

Ooh ❤️ There's not that many trees in Shetland so perhaps we need one of these? 🙂
Searching for a corner bookshelf and this is what I'm talking about!
