The City of Brooklyn wants to cut $36m from the library budget. Please, please save my budget and my kids' tsunami-like reading habits.

@matthue Nazis ban and burn books. Defunding libraries.
It's a technique they use.
Uneducated people are easy to manipulate.

@matthue that's a drop in the bucket compared to the militarized police budget

@cozymel and yet, without the BPL just think of what my book budget for my kids would be. nothing left over for groceries.

@matthue who needs books or groceries when you can have an increasingly militarized police force? /s

@matthue awww i just had a flashback to the thousands my parents spent on books because we didn’t have a good library and I read at least 4-5 books a week. I was very lucky they supported it! Are Ebooks an option through overdrive?

@CharRichardRSW they are! hoping they stay available (although REALLY hoping the physical libraries stay untouched!)
