Ever wondered why so many indie bookstores have masking policies to prevent #covid? We asked them! Read our new article “Indie Bookstores Promoting Masking and Covid Consciousness in 2026” 📚💙https://www.whoevenreads.com/indie-bookstores-promoting-masking-and-covid-consciousness-in-2026/

Indie Bookstores with Masking & Covid Policies in 2026
The trajectory of Covid awareness may not go exactly as many expect, and in the meantime, bookstores are one of the community spaces that can offer a transition point to a different possible future.

This is why planning for sustainability matters *so much*. It might feel like a hassle to incorporate long term plans into a project from the start (as I ask for in my academic library project intakes) but I promise it's worth it. Talk to a librarian! We can help!

The reality is the opposite. Librarians are essential to a successful research community on campus. Student success is improved when they can get 1:1 research help from librarians. And yet libraries are consistently underfunded and undervalued, librarians always underpaid.
