"HISD to eliminate librarians, turn some libraries into discipline centers at 28 campuses"

@handmade_ghost It must be exhausting. What a horrific and terrifying position to be in, that I can't begin to imagine. Another of the myriad benefits of living in the Independent Republic of Wales (I can dream!) is I'm lucky enough to have three fully staffed and super-well stocked libraries withing 30 mins of my house, although we're statistically a poor country.
All power and gratitidue to you for fighting the good fight. ✊♥ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If you could see my New Year’s resolutions on my other account on a server that is currently down, you would see that one was not to buy any more books to read until the to-be-read pile is below 12.
I cunningly worked around that by borrowing this from the #library, thereby getting to read it and supporting a brilliant service. The best way not to lose the library is to use the library.

A little while before Covid, I had been doing some #Genealogy research in #StJoseph MO. When I asked the #library there for help with #newspaper lookups, they said they could not afford #Newspapers.com, because they had an extremely small budget.

In all of my time researching Genealogy, I had never run across that before.

#Missouri has enough problems #funding their #libraries. If they don't have these state funds, what more can they cut? 😥😡

The #GOP is full of vindictive fascists and liars, at every level. #Trump was never the disease, he was only the most prominent symptom of the vile and cruel sickness in the #Republican party.

Contrary to what they claim, #Republicans are not about defending #FreedomOfSpeech and the #Constitution. They simply want to be the #FourthReich.

The 17yr old is planning to go to the public library in their lunch break, with their friend, so they both can get new books. #library #libraries #librariesmatter
