“Frog,” cried Toad, “can you do tricks like this?”

“No,” peeped Frog, who looked very, very small.

Just heard about Baker & Taylor shutting down by the end of the year, awful and incredibly disruptive situation for public libraries 😭

📚 UPDATE: The company that's been selling books to libraries since 1828 is closing up shop in January. Baker & Taylor's closure means libraries nationwide are scrambling to find new suppliers, and those suppliers are currently overwhelmed with orders.
News article headline reading "Nationwide supplier that sold books to libraries for community use closes down after 200 years" with a photo of a person browsing books in a library. Subheadline states "Library book distributor Baker & Taylor reportedly started laying off 520 employees without providing severance this week after a failed ReaderLink deal."

Rudy talks about the work going on to remediate some of this foolishness; grateful for the work, and it sucks that the Blacksky team has to change it's timetables because of other folks' foolishness. Put some money on their books and help us get a little bit freer
