DC libraries are neighborhood hubs, creative spaces, and places to celebrate reading.

It's National Library Week, and we are proud to recognize the nation's #1 public library system, @dcpl!

Thank you to the DCPL team for making sure every location is world-class.

In drifts of sleep I came upon you
Buried to your waist in snow.
You reached your arms out: I came to
Like water in a dream of thaw.

The Town of Brant has declared a State of Emergency and Driving Ban due to the Lake Effect Snow Storm. Snow is coming down hard in Brant, Evans and Hamburg. A Travel Advisory is in effect for all of southern and central Erie County, and now the Driving Ban in Brant.

[Mark Poloncarz @markpoloncarz]

The snow band has entered Hamburg and Blasdell. The second photo is from my county executive colleague Brent Davis of Erie County, PA. That is Route 5 in North East, PA. That's why traffic can't head south to PA. They got hammered.

Masons, when they start upon a building,
Are careful to test out the scaffolding;
Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy points,
Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints…

Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that we have built our wall.

I have known Megan Matson, aka @Matzon16, since she was 8 or 9. She was the little kid Megan in my first novel, “Hard Laughter,” 45 years ago. I tell people I practically raised her. Here is the lovely and practical and funny post that she wrote yesterday: https://t.co/NjXpSDh5V5
