The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS), which is part of the Library, has the world’s largest collection of braille music scores. This is how the scores are digitized, which grants NLS patrons more convenient access to them!

I’m honored to bestow the @librarycongress Prize for American Fiction on a writer as imaginative and knowing as James McBride. He knows the American soul deeply, reflecting our struggles and triumphs in his fiction, which so many readers have intimately connected with.

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

Sometimes, the Library’s books are used so heavily, bound so poorly, or have become so fragile with age, that even normal, careful handling of them causes the books to fall apart. Here's how the Library's Conservation Division handles it. https://t.co/r5c0HGmuuM

@treberney I have a funny feeling my answer will end up being LinkedIn...not for any big philosophical reason, just that I mostly use this site for professional news & LinkedIn already has a center of gravity for that. (So there's a clue to my social media effort investment level!)
