Y'all. I created this "Library Wrapped" template to help #librarians share their mid-year data BEFORE the end of the year when many budget/staffing decisions are already made. Access the template here: www.librarygirl.net/post/your-li...
I hope y'all find this resource useful!

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Narrator: It WAS the brain, he was just too dumb to understand what had happened.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

IMPORTANT reminder for when you print zines:
Set your printer to "Scale: 100%"
Many printers automatically resize to 94% or something, which will shrink the image and give you weird borders when you fold the zine.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.
Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.
We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Woah!
Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.
If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.
The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI
