Mychal Threets, known online as "Mychal the Librarian," is an American librarian from Fairfield, California, who has gained widespread recognition for his viral social media content promoting libraries, book recommendations, and mental health awareness.
Born on February 13, 1990, Threets grew up using the Fairfield Civic Center Library, the same branch where he later worked as a children's librarian and eventually became supervising librarian in January 2023.
He announced his resignation from the Fairfield Library at the end of February 2024 to prioritize his mental health, a decision he clarified was not due to cyberbullying, as he had been dealing with harassment for years without leaving.
In February 2024, he confirmed his new role as PBSs resident librarian, a position he continues to hold as of September 29, 2025, where he creates content for PBS Kids that celebrates library joy, literacy, and community.

That's exciting news. I absolutely loved Reading Rainbow growing up. It's a huge reason as to why I read so much to this day. My only regret is that I never found a single book featured on the show at my local library and I always looked.

Yay. Nice. I don't know who that guy is or if he's done anything before, but he looks like a good choice for the show.

Lord knows we need more Reading Rainbow in the world.

And I keep being surprised at the poor lexicon of clearly bright young adults.
