Jamie & I had a lovely time representing SLPL at today’s SLACO conference, meeting folks, learning stuff, & hearing “I LOVE the Library!” over & over. Feeling a little warm & fuzzy/less despondent. Act locally, organize, know your neighbor, vote, read a book, the world will be a better place✌️🩷🏡🚲📚✊

Feeling snarky (come on STL - 18%??) but not giving up. There’s a LWV-hosted school board candidate forum this Sunday 3/9 from 2-4 at Central, & the voter registration deadline for the next round is Wed 3/12, then we do it all again 4/8. Early voting starts 3/25. Join us? 🤨🩷🗳️✊

Blue skies indeed. Acknowledge this weather in Feb isn’t normal/right - but neither was the horrible frigid weather earlier this month & last - so yay blue skies.

Yesterday for 1st Day School (Quaker for Sunday School) we read & discussed this book about my childhood hero, Shirley Chisholm, in advance of Presidents’ Day (Ms. “Unbought & Unbossed” Chisholm ran for President in 1972) & b/c we are mid-Black History Month (not cancelled - really).

Speaking of Judith Butler, yesterday her book Who’s Afraid of Gender came back to Central, & we plugged it into a spot that had been vacated by Trans Anthologies.
