“It’s funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed.”

— 

Comedian and author Paula Poundstone (via juliyeti)

Speaking of which: ALA calls for accountability and transparency in nation’s surveillance laws
