I would like to know where I can get all of the #LizDanger tshirts. There should be a shop with this book like some books have playlists.

Several south suburban library districts get by with very little state funding, but we're moving to change that with $2 million in grants to improve technology offerings at the facilities.

📚Happy #NationalLibraryWeek! It's a time to celebrate our dedicated librarians and library staff who inspire and unlock potential in all of us.

Visit your local library, sign up for a library card, explore what they have offer – and thank a librarian for all that they do.

You have to be a leading lady but you can’t be nominated for best actress. You have to be a strong female director but you can’t be nominated for best director. You have to have a wildly popular dance song but you can’t be nominated for best original song.

[Kristin Pekoll @KPekoll]

We need nominations!
