Time for faculty to show their support for our colleagues in @BerkeleyUAW2865 @uaw2865 @UAW5810@sruuaw and urge @ucalifornia to give them the deal they deserve. All instructional faculty can sign the statement below @UCAFT1474
The purpose of a little free library is "take a book, leave a book"; pretty sure someone has been taking ALL the books and reselling them to used book shops. Tricky bc technically not wrong, but morally wrong. Anyone have tips to stop thieves in the night? #littlefreelibrary
