I recently traveled to Denver to speak at the Library Journal Directors' Summit.

As an added bonus, I got to have dinner with my cousin and his girlfriend, who had just moved to Denver the week before!
4 picture collage. There is a photograph of a speaker at a podium, two photos of a conference room, and a final photo of a speaker with a large projector screen. The screen displays three Lego blocks stacked on top of each other. They are labeled "policy, programs, services." Photo of the exterior of Denver Public Library, central branch. Photo of a large conference room with people seated at small tables, banquet style. Photo of a program booklet for Library Journal Directors' Summit. Laid on top is a speaker's name tag for Nick Tanzi.

Some exciting news: I’ve been named a Library Journal Mover & Shaker for 2025! I'm honored to be in the company of so many inspiring colleagues, both among this year's Movers and throughout the library world, who are doing outstanding work every day. #libraries www.libraryjournal.com/story/nick-t...
Photo of the May 2025 issue of Library Journal. It reads "Movers & Shakers 2025, 50 People Shaping the Future of Libraries." There is a photo of seven library professionals grouped in a stairwell, posing.

Library patrons are largely unaware of publishers' unfair licensing terms when selling ebooks and audiobooks to libraries. We need to address this awareness gap! I'm glad to see our consortium launch this #ebook advocacy page: www.livebrary.com/econtentFAQs #libraries #publishing
Screenshot of a website displaying the cover art of Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, The Women, bu Kristin Hannah, and Fourth Wing, by Rebecca Yarros. Below each title, the disparity in library metered access pricing versus standard consumer pricing. Demon Copperhead: Ebook: $12.99, Audiobook: $35.43. The Library Pays: 85 (MA) ebooks @ 137 = $11,665 spent The Women: Ebook: $14.99, Audiobook: $25.74. The Library Pays: 703 (MA) ebooks @ $60 = $42,180 spent Fourth Wing: Ebook: $14.99 Audiobook: $25.79 The Library Pays: 285 (MA) ebooks @ $60 = $17,100 spent.

I recently came across this "FLY BRARY" at the Lethbridge Airport, on my way to the Southern Alberta Library Conference. #libraries #LittleFreeLibrary
Photo of a little free library inside of the Lethbridge Regional Airport. There is a sign above it naming it the "FLY BRARY".
