“We want, and need institutions that embody hope—now more than ever. Public libraries, maybe above all else, have a long history of providing just that.”

“I can imagine a future where people engage through lenses of curiosity and empathy, not revenge or anger or dominance.”

“When I explain the reality of the work and the many ways it embodies the most fractured pieces of American society and culture, I push directly against the romanticization of what libraries are and who they are for. It is complicated to hear and it is also complicated to share. But as with most broadly accepted accounts of American history and culture, there are extensive misunderstandings and omissions from the story that have become equally difficult to sit with.”
