Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Good morning #booksky Just a friendly reminder that Audible, owned by Amazon/Bezos, supports the tech giant. Libro.fm offers an alternative, letting you buy audiobooks while supporting independent bookstores. Choose where your dollars go and align your listening with your values.

Delighted to see this show up so many times in my feed today. I love the Halifax Public Libraries! My friend takes little sewing projects to the Central Library, and I love being in the space itself

If you are able and interested, now would be a good time to shovel some leaves away from a storm drain in your neighbourhood before it gets dark. This one was hard to find!

#CarCulture in Halifax is the street sweeper working its way down the Cogswell detour road, with effects that will go unnoticed by drivers. Meanwhile, the multiuse path is a chockablock full of mud, gravel, and detritus from the road and construction. Hundreds of people impacted every day.

The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.

Normalize virus reports like weather reports. We appreciate weather reports even if they bring us bad news, as they help us plan ahead and avoid accidents. We need to stop being in denial about airborne viruses spreading. Sharing data helps us prepare and makes our lives easier.
