The New York Public Library has retired the "Book is a Dream" mug on the left and replaced it with the new mug on the right. You can get them from the @[email protected] store. All proceeds go to the library (I don't see a penny from it although sometimes I get a free mug.) https://shop.nypl.org/

@neilhimself That's cool! Books—and libraries—are awesome.

Speaking of libraries, here's more good news! Did you know that for a limited time, individuals in the US, ages 13-21, can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) eCard, gaining access to BPL's eBook collection and learning databases. Great #opportunity To apply, email:

@RichStein @neilhimself yes! Also note that any teen can request a personalized reading list, put together by another teen.

They used to say that banned books would have a special "always available" status. Not sure if that's still the case or not. Possibly affected by the court case that was recently decided for book publishers and against libraries, but which is being appealed.
