This post is a deviation from expected archival material.
I am a librarian, and believe in the freedom to read and research. I also believe that librarians have the right to do their jobs without being bullied or threatened.
I am so very sad to report that Mychal Threets -- one of the best librarians I know -- has suffered so much social media and other bullying that he cannot do his job, and is leaving the library field.

He is a national treasure.
@MelissaHDavis I follow him on Instagram and I was so saddened to read this. 💔
@MelissaHDavis 😭💔
A very good friend of mine was a librarian at a State Woman's prison & recently got fired for allowing a woman to check out books while having overdue ones unreturned.
No good deed goes unpunished in the slammer. 💔😭
