Great article. Great tactics by @SylvanLib to talk about collections.

There’s an intersection here with libraries

[Haggard Hawks 🦅📚 Words | Language | Etymology @HaggardHawks]

As a word for a young pig, the word PIGLET only dates back to the mid 1800s. Before then, a young pig might be called a HOGLING (14thC), a PORKET (1550s), a HOG-BABE (1600s), or a GRUNTLING (1680s).

Limiting access to new titles for 8 weeks for public libraries means limiting access and discovery for over 15 million public library customers and book buyers in Canada. @MacmillanUSA John Sargent. Cancel the embargo. #eBooksForAll #eContentForLibraries

.@MarigoldLibSys invited Catharine Richardson to give a webinar of the talk, Finding YOUR Voice on Social Media
This is aimed at small libraries who are trying to find enough content to create an active and engaging social media presence.

Our annual report came out a few weeks ago, and we're pretty impressed with ourselves (and our patrons, too)! Shortgrass readers borrowed Overdrive eBooks over 71,000 times last year! 🤯 Want to join in on the fun? See what we've added recently here: https://t.co/Gs8xLyjzlT
