Spooky season is upon us! To celebrate I put together a few designs promoting books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! These are four of my poster designs! Again, these posters are absolutely free for you to print and use!

Schools and public libraries are under attack and need your support. They are facing quiet defunding, book bans, and acts of hate. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected, and show your support by stopping by your local library.

I don’t know who needs the reminder, but Open Library by the Internet
Archive is such a perfect way to read a ton of different books, and especially books that you will no longer find except for second-hand sale at exorbitant prices. My
experience so far is that you get to check out a book one hour at a time, and if there aren’t any holds on the book then you can just check it out again. You can also add yourself to the waitlist if there is a queue but older books are unlikely to have anyone waiting for them.

So, you know, like a library but with a lot more shelf space for everything from popular books to the most obscure and random stuff across the entirety of human history.

They’re always being unfairly harangued by book publishers for doing what any other library does, so if you like their work you can also donate to help them in their efforts to keep so many different forms of media available for free to the public.
