I just told our six-year old about interlibrary loan.

Daughter: They’ll get you ANY book? Even if it’s ten miles away?

Dad: Even if it’s a thousand miles away!

Daughter: Librarians must be magic.

Dad: They have to be. They work with books.

David Trowbridge and his app Clio were featured in Kansas City Magazine!

"Imagine walking through Loose Park and your phone notifying you that local historian Bill Worley can tell you the story of how the park came to be."

@KUHistoryDept Congratulations!

Black female figures were a powerful force that drove 19th-century Cambridge forward. Their ideas came to life in churches, schools, and other spaces that still stand today. Stroll through the sites where Black women made history with this walking tour: https://t.co/eW8yG9wiIc.

@Woodard4Kansas One can measure a state’s commitment to its youth by how well it funds its schools and colleges.
I paid $1000 cash for my first semester at Emporia State. That possibility for self-advancement is gone, as are the programs and professors who helped me.

#OTD in 1960, four African American @NCATSUAggies students, named the Greensboro Four, staged a nonviolent sit-in at a lunch counter in #Greensboro, #NC.

@csschmitt1 A small percentage might be looking for less reading, writing assignments, etc, but most probably have other reasons. Helps me to remember that every class I dropped had nothing to do with the teacher- a couple times I was just trying to get classes closer together :)

It's been a tough semester, but the last few days have produced a few proud teacher moments.

Thank you Jeopardy for this question in yesterday’s show.

I know APUSH has its issues, as any AP class (& of course the whole College Board) does. But few things have given me more hope over the last two years than listening to the boys share both what they're learning about & their ideas & arguments on all things American history.

I turned 47 today, but here’s the thing… I thought I was already 47 so it feels like I just got a free year of life and that is an incredible birthday present.
