repealing section 230 will do even more damage than you think.

from ALA: "Without Section 230 protections, libraries could be held liable for patrons’ speech on social media, in an online chat room, on a webinar or in a live program."

ALA and ARL Oppose Repealing Section 230

The American Library Association & the Association of Research Libraries urged lawmakers to oppose repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects libraries and other institutions from being sued over things that users post online.

One of the things we want in our search for a new apartment is a Queens Library branch in walking distance, preferable a fairly large one. (we're both long-time members)

It's not a must, but a really nice-to-have.

Mendocino County (in California, United States) seems to be working the library over with their exorbitant administrative fees and poor bookkeeping over the last few years.

Mendocino County Library is facing a huge budget shortfall, to the tune of nearly $750,000! County residents, let the County know how much the library means to you and demand change about this billing.

Budget overview here: https://www.mendolibrary.org/home/showpublisheddocument/76497
