Cainmark Does Not Comply đŸšČ10h ago

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.

This is in EVERY #PublicLibrary in the entire world.

This is printed on paper and preserved from year 1954.

Yet every Bluesky Reddit #LaughingLiberal who can't stop LOL LOL LMAO at dumb memes can not locate this February 28, 1954 writing and apply it to MAGA, Trump, Iran, ICE, #Immigration #ImmigrationEnforcement , Blocking, etc.

It's crazy how many people are on #SocialMedia Bluesky promoting hate and saying hate isn't a problem. As they post on social media about Palestine, MAGA, Israel, ICE - they can't seem to put their finger on a well published #PublicLibrary book. As if the #POWER of media #systems hate thrills them!

"Fact: Between 1990 and 2014, visits to public libraries grew by a whopping 181%. For context, the population of the United States increased by 28% during that period.
Why have so many more people been using their libraries in the last two decades?" https://action.everylibrary.org/library_visits_have_gone_way_up_over_the_last_two_decades_here_s_why
