Greetings from Asheville. Posting from the downtown library’s WiFi connection bc no cell, no internet, no water and most without power.

Although we are talking about technology, the most important part is library staff who make it work.

Libraries that got the most out of NJHealthConnect “weren’t the ones with the most money,” @EBPLibrary's Karen Parry says .... Usage tracked the library’s enthusiasm about the program and interest in promoting it" @njstatelibrary @james3neal @PottsboroLib https://t.co/hPZlQp2oe7

The Tocker Foundation makes it possible for small libraries to think big. Our library would have closed without their support. Incredible organization

[Noah Lenstra @NoahLenstra]

I love this infographic the Texas-based Tocker Foundation created to illustrate how it frames (and funds!) rural libraries. https://t.co/K1dMhAzU01 Now to get a similarly expansive vision into our national library policy... h/t @PottsboroLib
