#librarianmastodon I am looking for an inclusive, non-judgmental sex ed book appropriate for a teen. The pamphlet from our district is a joke. Any recs? Thank you! #AskALibrarian

A friend is wondering if there is a charity or nonprofit that raises funds for librarians who get jailed for keeping queer books on shelves.
Anyone know?

One for #LibrarianMastodon - did you know that Harney & Sons makes a Bella da Costa Greene-themed tea? It may have her boss in the pic on the tin, but here for this.

May need to pick up more next time I’m in NYC, recently re-discovered among my tea hoard and it’s so good.

Hiltzik: The technology of ebooks sows confusion and lawsuits

Publishers and authors rightly fear that they'll lose out financially from the digitization of books; but it's also quite possible that, properly managed, the technological revolution will make them more money.
