Love libraries as third spaces and so happy to be in the board for my local one.

Are Libraries the New ‘Third Places’ We’re Looking For?
They just might be. They’re doing a lot of things that don’t have much to do with books but do have a lot to do with community. And you don’t hear “Shhh” much anymore.

Key hearing for the right to read, 2/10/25:

Colorado has long valued individual freedom,for each of us to read, think, & express our views as we see fit. The freedom to read is under assault across the country, & SB63 would establish Colorado as a national leader.

It’s Tuesday.

Wrote two Senate emails. Now I’m going to the food pantry to put words into action in our community.

Because no matter what’s going on, we have hungry people who come see us every single week. And we need to feed them.

If you’re in CoSprings, reach out and come serve with us.
