Libraries and librarians still hold a special place in my heart.

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity and pay they deserve?
Lauren WeinsteinAlex Murdaugh sentenced to life in prison. Interviewed juror said that initially the tally was 9 guilty, 2 not guilty, one "on the fence".

It is also being reported from some sources that Murdaugh took the stand against the advice of his legal team.
