A little PSA: if your library of choice is facing funding cuts, don't hold off on using their services because you're worried it'll put pressure on their existing funds.
Take advantage of everything and help them get some lovely stats to help them demonstrate impact as they fight back! If it looks like they're not being useful to folks, they'll get cut!
Don't do the cost cutters' jobs for them!
Just a reminder to anyone who clings to belongings, afraid to use them and break or wear them out -
I'm looking at all these stickers people gave me years ago. They're not sticky anymore. I was afraid to stick them, and now they can never be stuck. I never got to enjoy them. This applies to everything. Toys, shoes, anything. Use it and enjoy it. If it gets ruined, you got to enjoy it instead of it degrading having never been enjoyed.
We know some of you are wondering where the Ivory update for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS 26 is. We have some unfortunate news. An immediate family member was diagnosed with cancer over the summer and it has turned our world upside down. We will eventually get through this and focus on development again. Thank you so much for your support through these tough times.
