If you need to go somewhere and not spend any money, please visit your local library. Library crawls are awesome. Every library is its own little world.

Libraries are vital - libraries under threat - libraries educate and connect which is why some see them as a threat

just imagine working at microsofft and thinking “let’s spend billions, steal a load of intellectual property, and destroy the planet to make an interface to write bad essays” rather than “let’s update MS Word so users can comment on footnotes”

Here's a brief round-up of the online accessiblity of 19th-c. letters. With a few bright exceptions (Darwin, Carlyles, Brownings, Collins) the situation is not good. In fact it's a real mess. www.victorianresearch.org/other.html#l...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Reminder that the Guardian staff are on a 48 hour strike against the sale of Observer. If you wouldn’t cross a picket line in real life, don’t do it virtually.

The 2 winning entries in Rochdale Libraries’ Design a Library Card competition. Children were asked ‘how do books and reading make you feel?’ and the imagination and creativity of the entries was inspiring. Congratulations to Rochdale Library service for fostering a life enhancing love of books!
