Thanks to the members of the Friends of the Brookline Library, Library Foundation, Advisory Committee, and most of all interim director Danielle Savin for our behind-the-scenes tour of the Brookline Village library this morning! I especially loved seeing the old materials in the vault and stacks.

Thanks to everyone who came out to join or support our Pierce bike bus this morning! We had about 20 students (and about that many adults) ride from the library to Pierce @ OLS with an escort from the police bike unit. The kids had a blast! One student said they want to do this every day 😍

After a series of technically required and uncontroversial articles we’ve arrived at WA 9, the town budget. AC (finance committee) chair Dennis Doughty is giving a nice overview of how to find information about the town’s budget on the town website and our overall financial picture.

Slight corrections here -- I had mistakenly counted the 2-year TMM race in P17 as a contested race but there were 2 candidates for 2 seats. Most numbers have changed by a percent or two. I regret the error.

Some takeaways from yesterday's contested #BrooklineTownMeeting races:
* All B4E & BEC incumbents were re-elected
* PAX endorsees had the highest election rates regardless of incumbency
* Every single non-incumbent who won was a B4E endorsee
* Every incumbent who lost was a BBD and not B4E endorsee
* All B4E & BEC incumbents were re-elected
* PAX endorsees had the highest election rates regardless of incumbency
* Every single non-incumbent who won was a B4E endorsee
* Every incumbent who lost was a BBD and not B4E endorsee

I thought it was terrifying when I was that age… I’d be surprised if they make it the whole way through! But if they’re really into it and want to watch some behind-the-scenes action I can lend you this if you can find a way to play it! 🐺 🌖 🧟♀️

It’s #NationalLibraryWeek! Libraries are invaluable places where everyone can come to learn, have fun, build community, & access critical resources. A great way to celebrate this week would be to visit & thank your library staff then contact elected officials to oppose the dismantling of IMLS ❤️ 📖 📚

I love the new 'squared' design in Brookline Village which looks so much safer for pedestrians (there's currently no pedestrian signal at all at Washington & Davis 😱). I'm also thrilled that the concept design includes protected bike lanes along the whole project length. 🚶♀️👨🦽 🚴 🛴
