I love the two #publiclibraries I have access too!! We don’t talk about how many resources they provide in addition to books. Right now I have a #radondetector checked out. I get free #naloxone to keep in my first aid kit every year. And there is so much more I’ve yet to utilize. #publiclibrary
At Library 184 on my quest to knit in every public and academic library in Vermont I thought about the fate of higher ed, gender and crafts, planting trees, and beavers. 28 left to go!

Join us for Teen Game Night at 6 p.m. in the Teen Space, where just now Zoe H. (new Youth Services Librarian) has discovered every single game box in the gaming closet is filled with—you guessed it!—more soil.
More.
Fucking.
Soil.

#Canada has over 642 #publiclibraries. This library in Toronto is the busiest with over 2.8 million users.
CDN libraries have offered an increasing amount of digital services, including e-books, audiobooks, streaming media, and online databases accessed on their own electronic devices.
cover of hardcover book Asian Pickles: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Cured, and Fermented Preserves by Karen Solomon lower right, small white bowl with preserved chopped summer squash in a red brine and a stainless steel spoon; center right, small dark grey stoneware plate on which sits some pieces of cabbage kimchi; center left, preserve jar full of whole pink and white shallot bulbs; along the spine side are three more jars of pickled vegetables.
Another win from the library! Asian Pickles by Karen Solomon is going to be my next used book purchase after borrowing it from the library. I think this is the fourth cookbook we have discovered through the library that we have decided we want to own it forever. #cookbook #pickles #PublicLibraries
Just finished ‘Second Chance Duet’ by #chicago author Ana Holguin and it’s a delight! The Winnetka Public Library has your copy, and if your local library doesn’t own it, ask them to purchase. Libraries are big buyers of books!

📚✨The new Therapy Hub Patient Library at Edward Street is complete! The top shelf of books was purchased thanks to funding from West Bromwich Building Society, with the rest kindly donated by our local #publiclibraries in West Bromwich, Wolverhampton and Dudley. #NHSLibraries #workingtogether
The best opportunity for enjoying conversations with authors and experts on a range of important and fascinating topics @lsc-author-talks.bsky.social -- and all free, thanks to #PublicLibraries
I wish more citizens would consider how even MORE difficult it would be without public libraries to be a place for free activities for kids, especially if we remain a country that stupidly does 3 month summer breaks. #YouthServices #PublicLibraries
DEFINITELY getting a hint of the activity to come this summer! Main school district doesn't have school today and everyone is here being loud. I'm adjusting! #PublicLibraries #YouthServices

An old microfiche/film reader in front of a black curtain.
Public computers are currently down at the Main Branch. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The microfiche reader plods on, as per usual. Can we interest you in a very old newspaper, an obscure government document, or an out-of-print genealogy book?

AWE early literacy station in a public library where the screen image doesn’t fill the screen.
Does anyone out there know how to fix my AWE early literacy station screen so the images fill it again? A child pressed all kinds of buttons and I don’t know how to get it back. Manual not helpful. #PublicLibraries #SaturdayLibrarian

Here at SDPL, we want our patrons to feel seen.
That’s why we’ve installed three extra cameras in the north parking lot.

Text Shot: The Public AI Inference Utility is a nonprofit, open-source project. Our team builds products and organizes advocacy to support the work of public AI model builders like the Swiss AI Initiative, AI Singapore, AI Sweden, and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. We believe in public AI—AI as public infrastructure like highways, water, or electricity. Think of a BBC for AI, a public utility for AI, or public libraries for AI. Our team is fiscally sponsored by Metagov and funded by Mozilla, the Future of Life Institute, and the Center for Cultural Innovation.

Night of Notables? I'm used to being invited to "Morning of Misanthropes."
Thx to my mother & grandmother for ruthlessly correcting my grammar, & to #publiclibraries where I was able to find worlds outside my own.
Seriously, an honor I find hard to believe.
