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.

7. Spread the word! Tell any non-believers that this is happening. This administration is taking away things that ALL parties previously agreed were good for society: libraries, cancer research, feeding children, caring for veterans. We do not accept it.

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 🧡

Can book fans turn the page on decline in reading? Volunteer groups in Devon and Cornwall are trying to encourage more people to read for fun.

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 β€œdon’t 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!
