We're celebrating three huge milestones in Kentucky: ✅the highest number of people working; ✅most jobs filled; and ✅the largest labor force since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics started recording these metrics. Folks, we've got a lot to be proud of.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

I empty out my office today. I've been in the library world for thirty years (minus 6 when working retail). Bringing all that stuff home for me to stare at 😭

Today I am resigning as executive director from my library. Over the last eight years that library has been a physical part of me. It's like I have lost an arm or a leg or a part of my brain. It was not healthy for the work balance to over take the life balance and this is the end result.

There is nothing more special than a house tour from two sisters who just opened the door to their new home after losing everything in the 2021 tornadoes. And the best thing is, they were more excited for their sisters' room than their own. Our kids always show us the way.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Had to put this sweet ole girl to sleep today. 17 years old. I think one thing I'm grieving is that she was so much a part of the kids'lives and growing up. Empty house get emptier 🥹

My local librarian was my first trusted human. I learned to read at a young age. The library was my magical special place. I was invincible there.

Are there any Chicago-area journalists who care about the ongoing of local libraries? As in, would actually cover stories about local libraries? I need someone who can shoulder some of what hits my plate, and more, who will amplify the things I can and do cover. Illinois is not without issues.

Anti-book ban legislation has been proposed in Michigan. I had a chance to look at the proposals from the state library association months ago and they're GOOD. Michigan may join several other states in being an anti-book ban leader soon. www.wnem.com/2024/11/13/m...
