Books create community. Everywhere. 📚❤️
Why a Michigan community formed a human chain to move 9,100 books, one at a time | CBC Radio
When the Serendipity Books in Chelsea, Mich., needed to move 9,100 books to the store’s new location one block away, they assembled a volunteer “book brigade” to form a human chain, and pass each book...

We're in the news! Thanks Guelph Today for the follow-up on how Books & Beer Guelph has been grown over the last two years! 📚❤️
Guelph club grows over books, beer and friendship
Books & Beer Guelph was founded two years ago by Solveig Christina Voss, with the idea to bring a book, talk about it and then swap it for another at the end of the night

Canadian readiness levels as I currently understand it
The image shows an annotated screenshot of a Threads post. The annotated text marks the included list by number and specifies it as 'DEFCAN' levels. The annotated text also has an arrow pointing to the first point with the text ' we are here' and an arrow pointing to the last point stating 'Geneva Checklists & Suggestions'. The original post by user lorimeeboerart shows a list with the following text, with the numbers as annotated: For our international crowd, Canadian fight terminology: 1. Elbows up: we mean business and we aren't backing down. 2. Gloves off: it's go time. 3. Jersey em: we're yanking their own jersey over their head and using it to incapacitate them while we pound on them. 4. Over the boards: we're bringing supports into this skirmish. 5. Clear the bench: we are ALL in the fight and it's not going to be pretty, we'll take it for the team and no man gets left behind. The post ends with 'Hope that clears it up.', followed by a Canadian flag emoji. As mentioned before, there is an arrow with the text 'we are here' by the first point and 'Geneva Checklists & Suggestions' by the last point. The annotation to the last point alludes to Canadian conduct during the Second World War leading to the establishment of the Geneva conventions.

The prettiest little town in Canada is also a very bookish little town - a hotel with rooms decorated in the spirit of authors, a second-hand book café and gift stores with bookish blind dates - all settled in the beautiful scenery of the Grand River! 📚❤️

The Edgar Allan Poe room at the Arlington features gothic-style pictures and quotes by the author. The Library Bar at The Arlington features a large bookshelf that covers the whole wall in the back of the room. The bar is to the right, and tables and chairs are placed to the left. A Blind Date with a Book setup at One Sixty One, one of the two downtown gift stores in Paris. Wrapped books are lying on a shelf, and each package has some key info about the book such as genre, rating on Goodreads or the reader's opinion of the book. View of the partly frozen and snow-covered Grand River, the dam and Penman's Bridge from the William St Bridge in Paris.

Hello BlueSky, Books & Beer Guelph is making communication accessible off Facebook. Not a great sign of inclusion when you're exclusively sticking to a platform with harmful algorithms and a questionable agenda. Going forward, we'll use Google Calendar for scheduling. DM to learn more and sign up!
