Mine, too. Those cards also mapped the places in the stacks where I'd find the books I needed to read to do research for my papers—and, eventually, for my dissertation. The tactile (catalog cards and books) led to the cerebral.

I thank Nikki Giovanni for teaching us so much, and tonight, for this poem, which is never not relevant.
Allowable, by Nikki Giovanni
I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow 
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her
I dont think 
I'm allowed 
To kill something
Because I am
Frightened

Washington's 1915 "The Rural Negro School + its Relation to the Community," which frames the school as central to a whole social ecology ✨
