This week I saw the documentary, The Librarians. They are strong people standing up for your freedoms. It left me filled with rage and a bit hopeful for the future. I highly recommend seeing it and supporting any number of RI’s amazing libraries. Thanks for the beautiful map @aasmith.bsky.social !

Here are the Public Libraries across Rhode Island. The symbol is from the @nounproject.bsky.social, which is probably one of the best subscriptions I have. The symbols are graduated by square footage.
