Mychal Threets, a librarian at Solano County Public Library in California who went viral with his positive and informative library videos, announced his decision to resign due to mental health issues.


Mychal Threets, known for his lively presence at the Solano County Public Library, recently announced his resignation in an Instagram video, citing a need to prioritize his mental health.

Threets had made a video recently about mental health issues that his social media presence hadn't helped. Thanking the library for being a place where he felt safe and belonged, the 33-year-old, known for his infectious "library joy" on TikTok, expressed gratitude for receiving the I Love My Librarian Award from the American Library Association.


Despite stepping away from his librarian role on March 1, Threets remains committed to literacy advocacy and lobbying for library funding in Congress, especially crucial in the current climate of nationwide debates on banned books. His work with PBS, announced a week earlier, will continue, he confirmed.

Threets' many followers wished him well and said how proud they are of him for taking care of himself.
