The Menacing Librarian

Who Are the Menacing Librarians?We’re not your typical punk band—we’re loud about books, angry about censorship, and fierce about freedom to read. Menacing Librarians makes gritty, bookish punk rock with a purpose: to fight for access, inclusion, and literary rebellion.A portion of every album sale and stream goes toward supporting libraries, literacy nonprofits, and book access initiatives—especially those hit hardest by censorship and book bans.We believe stories are power. And everyone deserves a chance to find theirs.Read Loud. Read Free. Stay Menacing.
