You know what else is being affected by the tariffs on parcels worth less than $800? International interlibrary loan. I'm hearing reports of libraries overseas that won't lend to the US anymore. (That's in addition to the libraries here that have shut down their ILL b/c of lost IMLS funding.)

Just a note that local government picked up a lot of the necessary services central government stopped providing, especially after 2008. Public libraries, for instance, help people look for jobs (and housing), put together CVs, and respond to the correspondence bureaucracy demands.

It’s refreshing to look at Davidson and Swarbrick and think what the future of AoNZ COULD be. No matter how unlikely right now, it’s good to have the hope. #nzpol
