The librarian in Lisa Timpf's @lisatimpf.bsky.social story "The Space Librarians' Code" faces the closure and destruction of her ship's library, by government decree.

Get a copy of Starship Librarians! www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD4ZKNHX
Book promo post. A textured orange-hued background with a book cover overlaid it. The book cover is for Starship Librarians and features a humanoid librarian in a retro-coloured spacesuit of oranges, creams, and teal, shelves books. They are framed by a window looking out onto space. Behind them is a bookcart with thrusters instead of wheels. Additional text says Opening Lines. "A... young man with a sweat-stained Engine Tech's uniform... strolled up to the... Bonavista's main circulation counter. " Lisa Timpf from "The Space Librarians' Code"

Thanks to @theseaboardreview.ca for publishing my tribute to #ThomasBecket. This was definitely one from the heart. May all resistors to tyranny be so meddlesome. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/thomas-bec...

Highly recommend Sandlos and Keeling's surprisingly hopeful book from @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social about Yellowknife's Giant mine disaster (slow-motion over decades but still disaster) - which I got to review for @theseaboardreview.ca
