#TBT The only #Ultravox title in my local #PublicLibrary's catalog is this 8-disc "Deluxe Edition" box set of their 1984 release "Lament". They don't have anything else from the band, not even a "Greatest Hits" or "Best of that guy who wrote that annoying Christmas song" compilation. Only this doorstopper. But does the world really need seven different mixes of "White China"? Perhaps not, but you'll get no complaints from me 🎶 ⚡ 🎹 👍 😁 #Music #ClassicRock #NewWave #SynthWave

Bicycled the Root River Trail from Rushford to Peterson again.

7 bicyclists
7 electric bikes
1 recumbent

Just birds and 1 very young squirrel.

Both my bicycles need to go into the shop. So checked out this Rushford Bike Share bicycle from the Rushford Public Library.

These aren't available from mid-October to April. Still nice to have it as an option.

Note: Bicycles with coaster brakes don't stop when you pull on the handlebars non-existent brakes.

Many people don't know that specialized library staff connect young people, and their parents, to age and skill-appropriate reading. It's their labor that raises libraries above being a simple item-storage facility. Here are five reasons why: https://action.everylibrary.org/5_intriguing_reasons_public_library_staff_is_crucial_to_communities

Are you a fan of libraries, a designer and you live in #Boston ?

BPL are hosting a contest to design their new library card: https://www.bpl.org/boston-public-library-card-design-contest/

Would be cool if the final design was done in Inkscape 😉

Thread going back to November 2024 with rolling updates on US #PublicLibrary cuts. The only tragedy of The Commons is the failure to build #TheCommons. A better world must be built.
