PSAs for libraries from authors

Check out Our Authors, Our Advocates to see some PSA videos for libraries from some great authors! There’s only a few up now–Sharon Draper; Brad Meltzer; Sara Paretsky; and Scott Turow, but I’ll bet more will be joining them. I hope some YA and children’s authors are included. Hurray for library love!

…I just watched all the videos. They’re good (though two are almost the same, so feel scripted) but…the love of books was left out, at least for me…. Though maybe they’re trying to make people aware of the many things libraries provide us, things some people wouldn’t be aware of otherwise.

And libraries–we need them! I know I wouldn’t have survived my childhood without books. I hope libraries all over the world keep getting the funding they need to stay open, and to keep bringing in more new books and resources.
