At the local library where they're having a "Read to Dogs" event.
Kids will come in and read outloud to dogs. It's a way to learn reading and pronunciation and public speaking. Parents will bring in very young children and read to both the kids and the dogs. The dogs love the attention. Local towns folks volunteer and bring their very calm and trained dogs in to be read to and give attention to children. The librarians facilitate through scheduling and handing kids coming in and out.
It's a relaxing day at the library.

I only have a few more libraries to visit to get my stamps! These #library passport adventures have taken me all over #Pittsburgh getting to know the city in a way I really wouldn’t otherwise.
I love it.
(I’m also a huge fan of Pittsburgh’s murals and street art; and Hazelwood has a rain garden!)
A reminder that
DOGE IS THEFT
and also
DOGE IS CORRUPTION
This attempt to break into the Library of Congress and steal all the data has even worse risks than I imagined (from @everylibrary.bsky.social): action.everylibrary.org/hayden…

Looking to replace Duolingo?
Your library might provide you free access to Language Learning Apps.
No, not CDs or cassette tapes (when was the last time you were at the library? ).
Actual apps. That you download onto your phone.
My library provides me access to TWO language learning apps that compete directly with Duolingo. Mango Language App and Transparent Language App.
What apps does your library provide?
I've made this argument before, but hear me out.
Another reason why libraries are great are because you don't feel guilty about not finishing books anymore
Today's actions supporting the #library:
* requested 3 books to be added to library circulation
* put a hold on CONCLAVE (the pope movie)
* donated
* shared 10 Ways to Help
To Do Items:
* write to request renewal of passport program

Librarians are dangerous: A public service announcement by Brad Montague
Dear Enthusiasts,
I write to you today as a concerned citizen. Many aren’t brave enough to say it, but the time has come. So, I will say it:
Librarians are dangerous.
(Dramatic music should be playing in your head right now.)
You thought they were just keepers of the quiet. Guardians of the “shhh.” The ones who handed you a dusty book and pointed to a beanbag chair.
Wrong.

Libraries are under assault.
A 🧵 about what authors can do to support them:
I've been touring every local #library in the PGH Carnegie library system and getting my library passport stamped. Then posting about that and telling folks delightful stories about my adventures and encouraging them to *just use the library* because they get funding based on circulation.
I've been visiting Little Free Libraries and dropping my #solarpunk zines and a funny thing is happening...
Some of the LFLs are *empty* and some are *stuffed* and I'm taking books from the latter and dropping them in the former.
I'm redistributing book wealth. LOL

I am reading The Grapes of Wrath. It had been on to read list for a long time and when it was banned in some backward southern state, I bought a copy.
I understand why they banned it and I understand why every american student should read it.
