Collage from my local library’s vision board making event, inspired by the importance of building community & safe haven in a world that seeks to divide us. Never read the included poems before tonight, but they nest in my heart now.

A7 Your local public library's digital services! You can use apps like Libby or Hoopla, or through a dedicated local library website for FREE. #DigiBlogChat #SupportLocalLibraries #PublicLibrary #LibrariesForLife #BookSky
A3 Maybe? We already have Plex, but there are other options like Tubi, Pluto, Roku and Sling. We had Sling at one point, but we also got rid of our TV so… Oh, and your local library! #DigiBlogChat #SupportLocalLibraries #PublicLibrary #LibrariesForLife

Malice is a really good movie I saw in theaters as a teenager. I thought the story was great back then, and I still do! If course, I know how it ends but it is still a fun ride.
Yes, I get movies from the library. #supportlocallibraries
I'm three books into June so far, 50 books into the year... (more if you count novellas but I like to challenge myself so I don't)
I'm feeling good about this months book pace #booksky #reading #readbooks #supportlocallibraries

So, I'm doing this new thing where I go to my library, find the new release shelf, and just grab a book. I only look at the spine to see if it's fantasy. I do not read the blurb or look at the cover.

That exciting moment when you get notified that a book you have on hold is ready to borrow.. That's the feeling we used to get shopping at the book fair in elementary school 💯

Libraries have a unique responsibility to introduce all citizens to the world of information, which includes relevant, balanced, and diverse collections that represent all reasonable points of view.
