My heart is full of joy because tonight was the best adult program I've ever run at the library. And it couldn't have been a success without rockstar Library Board member Briana Alzola Lindquist there to help me with the huge crowd and the library team helping me put it all together.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Winston is the MOST entitled cat. Refuses to give up his evening cuddle time slot so I can color. Did I let him win? Of course.
