Here’s a reel from yesterday’s visit to a new Little Free Library on Grove Street in Salinas. I left copies of the Constitution and immigration rights cards there, too.

Here’s some footage from a recent visit to Iris Drive Little Free Library in Salinas. The copies of the Constitution and immigration rights cards I’m handing out seem to be popular.

Been away for a while dealing with . . . just a lot of stuff.

Working toward hopeful trends, however modest. How are y’all?
This image from an Oura ring report lists my resilience score as having moved from “limited” to “adequate.”

A new month means it’s time for a complete refresh in my Little Free Library! I stocked it with books to celebrate Women’s History Month and the spring holidays.

Lev had a profoundly dignified sunbath this afternoon.

A fluffy, black-and-brown tabby cat rolls on a rug in the sunlight from a sliding glass door that looks out into a courtyard. All four of his feet are in the air and he looks very pleased with himself.

I also made another quick stop by the Iris Drive Little Free Library in North Salinas. This neighborhood loves books and Spanish-English dictionaries are in great demand here. I also left some resources about Constitutional rights.

Some selections from yesterday’s evening visit to the Iris Drive Little Free Library, charter 178371, located in a book desert. This neighborhood LOVES books and it’s always a joy to fill this library.

I changed our Little Free Library out for Black History Month last week—it’s only holding books by or about African Americans for the next week or so. See anything you want to read? What are you reading for Black History Month?

Many thanks to @penguinrandomhouse for this copy of James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, one of many books on offer in the Road’s End Little Free Library for Black History Month.
A paperback copy of James Baldwin’s book The Fire Next Time is in the foreground, featuring a photograph of James Baldwin looking up and to his left while his right hand adjusts his scarf. There are bushes and landscaping in the background.

Meep got a good sun bath this afternoon.
A ginger-and-white cat lies on his left side on a square, gold-colored floor pillow. He is in a broad beam of sunlight with his eyes mostly closed, happily relaxing.

The hindquarters of an orange tabby cat emerge from a dark gray body pillow’s case that is lying on a light gray bedspread. The wall behind the cat is painted a golden yellow.

This headline from The Mercury News is . . . well, “profoundly disappointing” would be an understatement.

#ComplyingInAdvance
A Mercury News headline reads “News Alert: Silicon Valley’s brilliant young techies help Musk, Trump penetrate government, drawing Democrat fury.” This is a screenshot taken from an email, so the headline appears above an ad for Uber drivers acting as ambulance drivers. Below that and the paper’s masthead are headshots of several men in their 20s.

An orange and white cat with a pink nose and wide-open yellow eyes peeks out from underneath the ledge of a kitchen bar while he crouches on the seat of a barstool. A rotisserie chicken sits in its open container on the bar above him.

Wondering how Little Free Libraries work? Here’s a flow chart I made with Canva to explain ours.

#LittleFreeLibrary
This flow chart explains that visitors to the Road’s End Little Free Library may take books whether or not they have books to contribute, where to leave book contributions, and that any books visitors take may be kept, passed along to a friend, or returned to any Little Free Library.
