@DevonESawa @realDonaldTrump You know what’s amazing to me? Humans are going to go extinct because of selfishness. It took a fucking asteroid to kill the dinosaurs, but we will be gone because of selfish stupidity. It’s an ignoble end.

@DevonESawa It’s is like Hitler lecturing about the dangers of fascism. Why can’t these people recognize they are what they fear. Holy fuck, we need to get our shit together. Thank you for being here😊

It was fantastic to have the opportunity to participate with international colleagues and speak about libraries and library service against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a trying time, but the library community will make it through together as a family.

This week, our Partnerships Coordinator @kyliencarlson with @LanceMW and @DrWalidGhali presented to @MGCUBihar on the topic of Library and information science in the context of changing environment, and how we have responded whilst our libraries have been closed.

@YarraLibraries @kyliencarlson @DrWalidGhali @MGCUBihar It was wonderful to have an opportunity to speak with such a fantastic group about this important topic. Cheers!

I’m extremely honored and excited to have the opportunity to spend time with my Utah Library Family at the 2019 Utah Library Association Annual Conference!!!

[Lance M. Werner @LanceMW]

I have been thinking a lot about gratitude lately. I think it’s important to pay more attention to what’s right and what’s good each day. I feel very lucky to be here😊

At the end of the day, your library's brand is not “Shhhhh…” – it’s “Hey!”

@raamatuid Do you think that it’s possible for someone who is kind, empathetic and loving to be a racist, sexist, homophobic or have other harmful bias?

@raamatuid @ALALibrary ...and only interested in foisting their agenda upon others. We’re in this together and only together can we solve the challenges before us.
