NEW: The Supreme Court has ruled to protect the Universal Service Fund, the E-Rate broadband discount program's funding mechanism!
This is a seismic win for communities that rely on the E-Rate program at their libraries and schools: americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-sc... #ForOurLibraries

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to mourn the six million Jewish lives and countless others murdered during one of the darkest chapters in history.
Let us honor their memories and let their legacy unite us in standing up against hatred in all its forms.
Never again.

Our physical space and resources matter *greatly!*

This seems like the perfect time to remind everyone that you can always submit a request for your library to acquire *any* book they don’t have! And guess what? They’ll get it for you! You barely even have to lift a paw! It couldn’t be easier!
Libraries are great, but no section on chasing lasers? No books on perfecting the loaf pose? Not even a guide to meowing for snacks? What’s the point? Call me when they stock “101 Ways to Rule Humans.” Until then, I’ll nap elsewhere. #LibraryFails #NoCatContent #PurrMoreReadLess
