Art and Activism: An Interview with the Magpie Librarian
Magpies are birds with a reputation for collecting shiny objects. It was with this in mind that children’s librarian Ingrid Abrams, a colorfully dressed, self-identified glitter addict, named her blog The Magpie Librarian. Abrams created the blog in 2012 to document her adventures in library programming at the Brooklyn Public Library. Four years later, she has nearly 5,500 social media followers who stay updated on her library advocacy and inventive displays.
