Ask yourself:

Could this meeting be a zoom?
Could this zoom be a phone call?
Could this phone call be an email?
Could this email be a text?
Could this text be unsent?

Could we in silence retreat to the forest?
Could we, by game trails & forgotten paths, vanish into the trees?

Gotta say I don't really understand people who think cataloguing is boring 🤷🏻‍♀️

There's real skill—and a real joy—in extracting the essential qualities of a resource and arranging those qualities in ways that might match what a user is likely to search for.

"Throughout Chinese history, great collections and enormous libraries have been lost, to fires both accidental and deliberate. In times of mass migration due to conflict or invasion, a book collection was too bulky to carry along, and had to be abandoned."

maybe we can't hug or french kiss right now but we CAN send emails back and forth that start 'hope you are safe and well' so what have we truly lost

Does anyone reallly know what we’re living through now? Surely it’s too early to say.

What is a bird library, you may ask? It has a tiny chair, a bookshelf and there are seeds all over the floor.
