The latest newsletter is out from For The People, a group working to strengthen and defend public libraries. This issue has an excellent report on the group's project to collect governance related data about every U.S. public library system, data that surprisingly aren't collected by any national library organization. #LibraryDefenders #PublicLibraries librariesforthepeople.substack

One thing I’ve been trying to do more lately is go to the library every week. I have couple of books checked out already, so today I got some books for the kid. We’re gonna start reading the Bad Guys series. We did a trial run with a digital version and he loved it! (Yes I’m the annoying parent who makes all the voices while reading books). This is the one thing I truly want to teach my kiddo - love of reading #books #PublicLibraries

Libraries Are Priceless — And They Need Our Support otherwords.org/libraries-are-p

Beyond carrying books and DVDs, libraries provide essential programs and resources to the people they serve. While every library is unique, offerings include: helping students with homework or research, reading and literacy programming for children of all ages, as well as English language, GED, and citizenship classes.

I had a conversation this afternoon with the director of my regional public library, about Libby. She said that tagging books as Notify Me is what tells her what to buy. Libby notifies her about the requests for books from users, and if any book has more than three requests, she orders it. So using Notify Me is important!!!
