Hey, #Editors & #WritingCommunity! 👋🏻

I've topped up the scholarships for all my self-paced courses again!

There's a limited number of scholarship spots for editors and writers from marginalized groups.

They're first-come, first-serve, no questions asked.

Tip I learned from a retired librarian: Get more than one library card if your local library has reciprocal agreements with other systems! Put all your cards in Libby, and it'll point you to the library with the shortest hold time for ebooks and audiobooks.

Libraries are COOL and cool people use libraries! 😜⁠

Get a library card this Library Card Sign-Up month if you don't have one already. And if you do, encourage your friends and family to do the same!

It's been 1 year since I started walking (mostly) unassisted!! I still use a cane if I'm going anywhere crowded, but having two (!) mostly-cooperative (!) legs for 12 whole months has been really good so far.

August also marks 1 year of some other events/milestones, but I'll save those for later.

Casual Saturday night CMOS reading came to a screeching halt in 2.144, in which an example note gives "WILKS bare-uh" as the pronunciation for Wilkes-Barre. Whaaa?

I say wilks berry (note: I'm from south-central PA), but I've heard wilks bar and wilks bear too. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Hello friendos

Your librarian here with a tip

Ditch Duolingo and their AI and use your library card to access Mango or Rosetta at your library. You can also check out language CDs and DVDs, as well as books, phrase books, dictionaries and e-resources.
