Most unexpected library moment last week:
Rough/tough-looking man walks in, logs into a computer, and starts singing along to Taylor Swift songs. #swifties 🫶

My daughter today: “Wait. YOU went to COLLEGE?”

Which to be fair, is probably the same reaction my high school guidance counselor would have had.

Two organizations I proudly support through dues, #ALA and #AFSCME, joining together to fight the good fight. 📚💪 #ForOurLibraries

National Library Workers Day. Libraries Work Because We Do. 4.8.25, #NLWD25, ALA-APA

That is disturbing, yet sadly, unsurprising. I need to read Invisible Women!

Well hello there. So we meet again.

I’m thrilled to be running in a CONTESTED union election again! Recent union activism is blowing my mind in the best possible way. Win or lose, I’m honored to stand in solidarity with my union, and my amazing colleagues. 💚💪💚

Get out and vote, #AFSCME L. 1842!

‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine Private messages detail an alleged campaign to tarnish Blake Lively after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

This story is horrifying. Baldoni and his PR team are disgusting.

Are You Baking Cookies with Children or Starring in a Gritty Crime Procedural? 1. Every single surface of the room is sticky and coated with a fine, white powder. 2. You’ve shouted, “Don’t touch that! Bag that up right now! Ba...

"At some point, you’re going to have to call in a grizzled, grumpy old-timer who’ll tell you what to do next and all the ways they did it better."

New union swag. #AFSCME #UnionStrong💪

The last 24 hours of my life feels like it should have been narrated by the Frontline guy (Will Lyman for all the Frontline nerds).
