"We are certainly concerned about what this means long-term for our farm & programs and will be considering the implications of this event as we plan for next season." -Just Roots Farm Director, Meryl LaTronica. More #climatechange and #WMass reporting, https://t.co/KNO7a6TOOD

[Carrie Healy @CarrieHealy2]

Just Roots farm director Meryl LaTronica sent me an update two days after the rain-event, on Wednesday. Here's her update:
"There is debris and erosion in many places throughout the farm, however, in other spots, you would not be able to tell that there had been flooding."

[Carrie Healy @CarrieHealy2]

laTronica adds: "This may mean looking for land elsewhere in town. Or, it may mean understanding what is occurring upstream of us that may continue to have an impact on our land."

@johndankosky John, you're armed with a powerful spitball device, should you need that kind of diversion. Bic, perfect for the non-paperless office.

[Carrie Healy @CarrieHealy2]

Arrivederci!

@hilarysburns @CastletonEdu @BostonGlobe How many books in the holdings are *non-circulating* reference books? Was that number taken into account when Parwinder Grewal calculated: "About 58.6 percent of the books in all the campus libraries have never been taken out."
Did you get clarification on that?

[Carrie Healy @CarrieHealy2]

@SarahDixwell You could revisit the journey of researching the book and plan your talks for those venues.
