This futurist talk reminds me of the basic library principle that differentiates data > information > knowledge > wisdom. Wisdom is where our humanity resides and can’t be AI generated. #cican2023

The lovely folks at @MassyBooks have made you a curated list of Vancouver titles, if you want to buy any of these Great Novels (and short stories, poetry collections, memoirs, and nonfiction books) locally: https://t.co/MXHSsVX14H

@CChare3 @UVicLib Yes I did bring it! It is the perfect tote bag.

[Shirley Lew @shlew]

I loved & lost my original @UVicLib tote bag weeks ago & my quality of life took a serious hit. The amazing folks at @UVicLib took pity and mailed me this life-saving package. So grateful, so happy. Thank you!! 🙏🏽🖤🤍✨💫

A stellar festival. Thank you and congratulations to @LeslieHurtig @omarelakkad for a stunning program, and to the staff, volunteers, and of course the authors who are still writing the words we need. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That’s a wrap on @VanWritersFest Festival 2022.
Thank you to all the authors for sharing their words and feeding our minds. And, thank you to the audiences for filling these seats and buying books.
Feeling grateful (and exhausted 😜)

What a joy watching @EleanorWachtel interview @pierre_jarawan at @VanWritersFest tonight. Both were masterful, thoughtful, authentic & kind. Listen when the episode is broadcast. And buy his novel.

Fourth time vaccinated. 💉Refreshed my masks for the fall. 😷 Voting in early municipal polls tomorrow. 🗳 I am so grateful, lucky, and privileged.
