If you or someone you know is in North Liberty Iowa, @libraryfutures.bsky.social is so proud to be supporting this event and community read of Ink Knows No Borders: Poems of the Immigrant and Refugee Experience! northlibertylibrary.org/programs/eve...

This project launched because of @clairekelley.bsky.social, who was steadfast in finding a new way to bring ebooks to communities. Together with the libraries, she's transparently worked out cost, figured out a license that supports both parties, and been willing to experiment with delivery.

This is what an elder looks like. Jonathan Kozol interview with @clairekelley.bsky.social on how eugenics shaped US public education, and his friendship with Fred Rogers, new at @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social: www.counterpunch.org/2026/04/14/p...

Will KKR's bid to buy Simon & Schuster pass regulatory review if the private equity firm already owns OverDrive? To find out I reported this piece for Library Journal.

We know libraries are under threat from the culture wars, but few have noticed that private equity is preying for libraries and publishers, too—and using employee ownership to justify it. This is a super important story—reported by someone I love:)

I learned so much depressing but important to understand stuff reading this piece. If you're a writer, or a reader, take a close look.

Picked this up, Cory Doctorow’s latest from Verso Books, at #ALA2023

Lots of good rainbows lately in Boulder Colorado

After almost 10 years since my last appointment in the Chicago History Museum archives, I got access to the Red Squad collection last week.

So excited to read Jhumpa Lahiri’s new story collection, coming fall 2023 from Knopf
