"The library has been open the entire time. The library has been the community’s anchor. It’s the heart of the community at good times and bad times." Dr. Hayden has always been the best of us. americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-sc... #MyLibrarianForever

Waking to this utterly appalling news. Sharing from the only international report I can see so far, given Dr Hayden was summarily dismissed at 6:56pm EST: www.thestar.com/news/world/u... Be in no doubt, this is fascism in action. Pray for the USA, for Dr Hayden, and for American libraries.

Librarian of Congress’ office, November 2024. Am struck by how blatantly the US administration is striking out at the best in their nation. apnews.com/article/dona...

8 points ahead of every other team in quiz - except the team we had to play a tie-break against! Which we won. Good result!

Tested my tent ahead of this week’s DofE expedition, yesterday afternoon. Then the much more fun testing of thermarest mattress by lying on it staring up at some clouds for a bit.

Had a “one hit wonders if the 80s” playlist on. Latin Quarter’s wistful protest song Radio Africa came on, and it hit hard. Like hearing Eve of Destruction and realising the same message is still relevant.

Good performing the quiz yesterday, but we were outplayed and had to settle for second.

I don’t know but I’ve been told - This early morning’s wet and cold! I don’t know but it’s been said - I think I’d rather stay in bed! I don’t know but it seems to me - I’ve gotta go open the library! [Marching cadence of the US Librarian Corps]
