book exchange at thursday's kahala mall meetup!
it'd be nice if you'd take your unclaimed books. if you leave them, i'll take them to the little free library in makiki district park.
it was empty after proof last month. hopefully these books are finding loving homes!
see you at 6 thurs evening!
To library workers: Your care, your open doors, your quiet guidance create more than collections. You create safe spaces, dreams, and futures. You defend the right to read freely. You remind the world that knowledge should be for everyone. Thank you for making libraries not just places, but homes.
βI have ebooks with more spine than Congress!β
βSo bad even the introverts are here.β
These are our people. #wewillnotbesilent

Trump says libraries are unnecessary. We disagree. This latest executive order fires 75 federal employees and ends funding for 125,000 libraries that serve more than 1.2 billion patrons in person and even more online. Here are 7 things you can do right now π§΅

"If you've got an audiobook just bring your earphones, but you make great friends, all like-minded people, and it's absolutely brilliant. I wish we met more often." Glorious @silentbookclub.bsky.social love! bbc.com/news/article... (via

I went to @silentbookclub.bsky.social aka Introvert Happy Hour. Read whatever book you want to for an hour. Socialize before/after if you like. Often held in cool places. Highly recommend. Find a chapter: silentbook.club

Ban billionaires, not books. International Womenβs Day protest, March 8, 2025. Hawaii State Capitol. #refusefascism #wewillnotbesilent
Shop small. Support local. Boycott Bezos and the billionaires.
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says βdonβt buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.
I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
