Oh wow! I’m sorry you had to go through that. Did your first Shingles shot cause that kind of reaction too? I was sore after my first, but not as bad as having shingles!

I thought about scheduling my 2nd Shingles shot and adding the flu & Covid….and then some small sense of self preservation kicked in and I didn’t.

If you need a good book that will make you smarter or give you a more global perspective, go to your local library and ask a librarian for some book suggestions!

You can find all kinds of good books and stories at your local library.

And it’s free.

Libraries are amazing! Go get a card to support your local library and help keep them open!

Oh! And library books are free to borrow, so grab some books while you’re there!

#readmorebooks

Do you know where you can find amazing librarians like this?

ICYMI…The Library of Congress doesn’t allow anyone under 16 yo access, and under 18 needs parental consent.

The public can only look at materials on premises.

LOC only lends books to members of Congress, meaning Senators and House Representatives, their staff, and Supreme Court justices.

FFS

If you haven’t been in a public library in ages, you should go and see how amazing they are.

I read this book with a local library book club! I bet your local library has a copy too if you want to read it!
It was excellent!

Need a brain break?
Can’t sleep?

Read a book!
Even if it doesn’t solve the world’s problems, you’ll feel a little better.

Truth

#readmorebooks
#restoreIMLS

IMO books help take the mind off what’s happening in the real world.
Read before bed.

Need information? Need help?
Your local public library is waiting to help you!
What are you waiting for? Go!

Also, they need you too. Now more than ever.

Do something super nice for National Library Week…go to the library and check out some books.

Also, call your reps and demand the IMLS be restored.

What are you reading?

Please call your representatives. Leave a voicemail if their office is closed. Libraries can’t afford to lose access to library and museum funding. Rural communities will be the hardest hit by this.

Some of my favorite books (for kids) are board books!

Book cover for Solito:A Memoir by Javier Zormora. A boy’s silhouette on a cream cover, with the silhouette showing the dessert.

Need a good book?
My current reading is Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora. The memoir tells a story of a nine-year-old boy on his journey from a small town in El Salvador to the United States to reunite with his parents. Hopeful and heartbreaking at the same time.

Summit County Librarians make me laugh 😂

Thanks for the reminder! Have a good night, and I hope you get something to eat and rest too!

Your school librarian likely can’t reply like they want to, so thanks for having their back!
