Today my girlfriend and I sold books we no longer want and used the money we got back to buy children's books for the little free libraries in our neighborhood. It was so fun to pick out books for the kids. We will absolutely be doing this again

Just a couple photos of the wood decking ceiling of the new Shutesbury Public Library. Our small rural town has been working on this project for 30 years and it is so exciting to be watching the actual construction!

Every now and then I think about the fact that many of the parents angry about the fact that their kids can read books featuring LGBTQ+ characters from the library are the ones who were reading Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews in elementary school

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

13 years ago we were trying to hang on to a grant that would have helped us build a new library. We are building our new library now!
Back then, we made this little video and it got a lot of attention. Anyhoo, maybe some of you will be glad to know we’ve had a happy ending!
