Don't judge. Help. #Libraries

Public #libraries should have datasheets, reference manuals and schematics. Would be great for #rightToRepair and keeping #knowledge in general - a library's main purpose.

I'm hanging out at the university's rare book library today. This is what living is for.

Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

A great opportunity is now open for a Tech Team Manager in the Discovery and Delivery Program at the California Digital Library where I work! This is a great group of folks doing innovative work in core library areas. #jobs #libraries

The fundraising letter I got from #NYPL (New York Public Library) this week has some fantastic news:
They are raising money because of “book checkouts doubling and tripling at some branches”.
People are READING!
People are continuing to read, despite the popular narrative that everyone just wants to sit scrolling video feeds and chatting with bots all day. People want books, people have the attention span to read them, and at the very least some libraries are thriving.
Have hope in people!
