This is going to have impacts in every single community. This pause includes the Library Worker Support Network funding. Will we make it through the review stage? Who the fuck knows.

now that you’re getting deadened to the firehose of fascist bullshit, good time to see about supporting or creating mutual aid in your neighborhood.
what’s a resource you know people around you could use? food? narcan? tents? emotional support?
what can you do every week to fill that need?

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)
