…and speaking of, June’s issue is out—made by neighbors, for neighbors!
Our lead story comes from Judith C., who wanted to know: When will Sunset Park Rec Center be done? She called, emailed, checked city data, and got it. Grab a copy of the Sunset Park Sun at the library. That’s civic engagement!

Just finished my MLIS at Pratt (on May 20). I’m officially a librarian now (!). Didn’t expect the Open Newsroom I launched in 2019 would lead here: LIS theory, oral history, youth civic work, neighborhood bulletins—even some urban planning. Grateful for the ideas, approaches & people I met.

I started reading @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social a few years ago in my teen engagement class at @pratt.edu. Has been required reading since.
