I have made 1767 loans from my local library since I moved here 16 years ago. 652 were reservations and 7 were requests from other libraries. #LocalLibrary #Libraries #LibrariesRule #Reading #ReadersOfMastodon #LibrariesOfMastodon

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.

What makes the library’s Special Collections ‘special’? An interview with Scott Libson | Yale Divinity School

Scott Libson ’06 M.A.R. is the new Special Collections Librarian for the Divinity Library. In an interview for YDS news, Libson reviews the path that brought him back to his divinity alma mater, why librarianship is a promising career path for divinity students, and what’s so “special” about the Special Collections. What brought you back to YDS?

Finally added to the homepage! Would have gone much more quickly if #Mastodon was one of the icons offered in the "social media links" tool. Had to artisanally hand-craft a row of icons like it's 2003 or something.

Just adding some # in the hope someone on the fedi knows. I don't know, but am now feeling invested in the answer.
