Midwest in my bones. Family in my heart. Public libraries on my brain. Proud director of a National medal award-winning public library.

Some people don't know this so it's worth saying out loud that Public libraries are free to use. And even if you have never used a library, the librarians at your local library will be very happy to see you and help you get started.

Ever watched a mini comedy special filmed though the backup camera of a Mazda?

Of course not, that’s because Jackie Kashian is one of the best in the biz

I have a note on my phone called “Quick Notes.”

It’s essentially a clipboard for a bunch of stuff I don’t want to forget in a moment, and, BOY, is reading through it is a wild ride.

My 11yo son told me this morning if he had a personal robot, he would name it “Jerrothy…..you know a combination of Jimothy and Terry,” and I’m going to be thinking about that all day. 🤔

My friend and colleague (the library's HR director) is powering through an impossible time for her and her family. If you have the means and are able to support, I know she and her husband would be forever grateful.

“At a time when people are more divided and disconnected than ever, libraries remain places where anyone—regardless of background, politics, or income—can walk through the door and feel a sense of belonging,” - Brooks Rainwater, @urbanlibcouncil.bsky.social
