If you want to borrow a book, go to the library. But if you’ve been recently (even digitally), you know libraries are so much more than that.
They're a catch-all public resource, filling gaps in services and serving as a vital community and social infrastructure. 1/

In its history, the library has gone from exclusive to democratic. The first libraries in the U.S. were created so that rich, white, male colonists could exchange books.

Now, libraries are truly democratic spaces, designed to serve every segment of society in the same physical space. 3/
Since it took me so long to post pics from the Dec. 5 @JCASLKY Holiday Party @Flanagans502, I thought I'd make a thread of it. We shared our #AASL19 stories and had toasted ravioli, chicken wings, artichoke, spinach dip, veggies, cake.
Guess who won a door prize @JCASLKY’s Holiday Party? JCASL’s secretary @Amy_BakerLMS & occasional @KylChat mod. Amy helps facilitate so many great things @WilkersonTElem. Svc projects, collabs, newscasts, & more to show #kidscanmakeadifference. #jcpslibraries @jcpsforward.
@Amy_BakerLMS wasn't the only winner. Everyone but one at the Holiday Party walked away with a door prize! Sorry, @crystoannielib. Speaking of, here she is with Stacie Alvey @alveyinthelib, Kim Tullbane, and Jackie Marrs @Reederchik. They are all #LeadingFromTheLibrary this year.
