Library as Infrastructure Reading room, social service center, innovation lab. How far can we stretch the public library?

For National Library Week, we can't recommend enough @shannonmattern.bsky.social's 2014 essay "Library as Infrastructure."

The Humanities as Canary: Understanding this Crisis Now - The Scholarly Kitchen The Humanities have always been the canary in the coal mine of the full knowledge industry. What information can help us understand this crisis and its implications?

"It has come for science because it was never just about the Humanities, but about how we assess American progress through infrastructures of new knowledge and its application." scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/02/t...

TODAY!

Singer-songwriter Cassie Blanton, who signed the Fight for the Future letter, tells Rolling Stone, "Musicians are struggling, but libraries like the Internet Archive are not our problem!

This lawsuit is just another profit-grab."

Counterpoint: Do

Here is a somber truth of creative life. If it goes well, people will begin to ask you for things. Each of those things, no matter how kind or flattering or genuine or even beneficial to your own career and finances as well as someone else's, will pull you from your true purpose.

For some reason I thought Mongol nomadism was already in the list of UNESCO Intangible Heritage list.

Apparently getting added only now.

Not a nomad, but forever grateful for the summers I had at grandma's. Won't ever forget how her GER got flooded & we moved to higher grounds on yak carts.

Took a long time to write this one. Thank you, @vanmusicmag.bsky.social
