If I could embrace each of you who are facing being more vulnerable with less rights, I would.

These words from my father encourage me to look up and to keep fighting for freedom, democracy, and a world where injustice ceases and love prevails.

Maybe you’ll find them helpful and a source of hope.

Happy Election Day. Take your anxiety meds if you have ‘em.

My neighbor just let herself into our house. So, that was weird.

It’s TREAT! Hamline-Midway is getting a brand new library after all! #YouGetALibrary #YouGetALibrary #YouGetALibrary #BFD

New city library for Midway Saint Paul finally on the way. 👏🏽

[Betsy Hunter @BetsyHunter]

No question AT ALL. I am so, so thrilled that the Hamline Midway Neighborhood will finally have a safe, accessible, 21st century library.

JUDGE: “There is no question the extraordinary deterioration of the Library, unabated, poses a significant risk to public health, safety, and welfare. Those risks include mold exposure, poor air quality, falling structures, illicit and nefarious activities... collapsing ceilings"

I learned this weekend that my husband has never seen RHPS, and I’m not sure how I missed that in my dating screening process.

Anyway. Happy Halloween. Let’s do the time warp again.

I wish that people who say libraries don't matter anymore could take a tour of ours right now. All of our computers are full, and the tables are full of people studying, while grandparents read Mo Willems book in the children's department. We haven't even been open an hour.

Super excited to be transferring job sites soon! My commute will be so short, I won’t even have time to cry on my way into work anymore! #librarylife

[Betsy Hunter @BetsyHunter]

For the record, I do both. 🤫🚫🏃‍♀️

[Lousy Librarian @LousyLibrarian]

The idea that librarians spend all their time telling children to shush is an unflattering, outdated, and severe stereotype. We actually spend all our time telling children to stop running.

The original arrest warrant (and transcription) for my 9th great-grandmother in Salem, 1692. Mary Warren probably had it coming. 🧙
