@eparpillee I shouldn’t admit this but I caress my croissants in just this way before eating them (yes, all four of them).

If terrestrial affairs are getting you down, enjoy the spectacular new digital exhibition at the JCB! #constellations

[John Carter Brown Library @JCBLibrary]

If the library is the cosmos, and books are the stars that fill it, then readers are celestial observers. Like ancient astronomers gazing at the sky, early modern readers created constellations with their ideas – as we do today...

.@JoyceChaplin1: we are experiencing not one, but three global pandemics: since 2020, COVID; since 1981, AIDS, which kills ~650K people/year; and since 1961, cholera, which kills ~100K people/year. https://t.co/txBuyjiW2j

Sad night.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a hero in every sense, who fought for equality and justice with grace and persistence. On the first night of Rosh Hashana, we remember a gentle but unyielding spirit, who inspired us to question the barriers to justice for all. RIP RBG.

About a year ago, I joined Twitter and heard from many of you about the Smithsonian's role in your life. Since then, so much has changed and many more Smithsonian experiences are virtual. I'm still listening and I want to hear from you. What does the Smithsonian mean to you?

@eparpillee I don’t know how to express personal emotion on twitter but hoping everything is okay with the both of you!!!

[Patricia Hswe @pmhswe]

Curious to know: Since the closure of campuses & thus libraries/archives/spec colls, how have librarians been promoting digital collections of primary sources? Has demand increased? Services been adapted & how? How are you getting the word out abt these collections?

[Neil Safier @neilsaf]
