Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Column | Who uses public libraries the most? There’s a divide by religion, and politics. The top library users all have one thing in common. But the Americans least likely to use libraries fall into two groups, each of which share some surprising traits.

Ok I will admit that I was VERY hesitant to get on a new social media platform. I already have like 6 and honestly the internet isn't that fun these days, but I have to admit I'm really enjoying Bluesky!

Please consider sharing this post to help me grow my Bluesky audience to match the rest!

I just leave this here.....

Billionaires are bowing down.
Media figures are bending a knee.
Public figures want to accommodate.

It is up to us to form a new opposition.
We will not back down. We must not obey.

Today I'm grateful for family, friends & loved ones.

Also: pie
