Here’s a New Year’s Resolution: Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

We've been fortunate lately that the rivers in #Pittsburgh have been SO still, and this morning was no exception. It looked like the city was floating with the thin layer of fog in the middle from the North Shore.

162 years ago, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. The sacrifice of these riders reminds us to recommit to accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2024/1...
