LIbrarian twitter is all in a tempest in a teapot again about the boundaries of public library service, sparked by a statement by @JustinLibrarian that people wanting to work in libraries in 2019 need to be "everything to every community member." Here's the thing: HE'S RIGHT. Did you read @EricKlinenberg's PALACES FOR THE PEOPLE, and did it resonate with you? Libraries are one of the only, if not the only, pieces of social infrastructure we have here in the US. Our professional mandate is free and open access.
