A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

I love this song. "What the world needs now is love sweet love, no not just for some, but for everyone......" My dear Bluesky friends. We have the ability, right now to spread that love. Share it with someone who needs to feel cared for. Just a kind word. A smile. We can do this. 😔

Woohoo!

Tell Congress to #FundLibraries The American Library Association is leading the charge for libraries. Librarians, information professionals, and everyone who loves them must tell their members of Congress to support full federal fun...

Another ridic easy way to call and/or email your senators in support of federal funding for libraries and IMLS www.ala.org/advocacy/fed...

A massive moss covered tree gripping the earth with ancient roots. It has a large hollow section that reminds me of the painting 'The Scream' Beyond the tree the forest protected by this big guy

The air has curdled & is thick with lunacy...the ancient ones scream

Anyone else feeling utter dread and panic about what horrendous atrocities might transpire later today? 🙋‍♀️

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

Here we go again.

Here we go still.

This 💯

Please don't give him the ratings to bother watching. They'll be plenty of information shared afterwards.

Fund the public libraries. Just do it.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I know trans people and I know fascists who are making life difficult for trans people. The trans people are pretty cool and I'm glad I know them. The fascists can go fall down a deep dark hole.

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!!

You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

Incredible!

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals.

And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked.

And then the DEI office was killed.

And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

You've got this, Cookie and hoomom! Best of luck <3

A great opportunity for #MLIS students or any library worker who doesn't have institutional support to attend ALA Annual in Chicago. 📚 A 3-hour volunteer shift gets you free access to the conference!!
