#nzpol Sometimes a policy is so stupid it makes you question the very fabric of reality. Decisions so fabulously, almost wantonly dumb, you wonder if we actually live in a simulation. Welcome to the world of removing Jobseeker Support for 18 & 19-year-olds. craigrenney.substack.com/p/a-small-wr...

I am looking forward to attending #FBM25 @recollectcms.bsky.social

If it's unlawful, how can it happen (in a democracy)?

One hundred days into the Trump administration, here's how the American Library Association and libraries are weathering its attacks and fighting back.

I'm not sure "deeply disappointed" quite cuts it. We all know it's just wrong, poor leadership, & we shouldn't be so polite about it. That said @cindyhohl.bsky.social, @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social I appreciate you speaking up! I hope our actions speak louder than words as petitions to Congress surge

Our May issue is online now! ➡️ bit.ly/AL-May25 In this issue: Marshall Breeding's 2025 Library Systems Report💻, brewing local connections, and lauded author Pam Muñoz Ryan on the library she writes about in her new book. 📚
