The best thing you can do to celebrate National Library Week is to go to a board meeting and talk about how much you use and care about your library.

'I'm too scared to talk publicly.'

That's fine. You can write a letter. Do it right now and email it to the board.

I was complaining to my friend about how awful things feel and how hard it all is at the minute, and he said 'it's a period of deep moral injury for anyone with a thinking mind and a working heart,' and if that doesn't just hit the nail on the head I don't know what does.

Share Your Love for PPL during #NationalLibraryWeek .
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Sands Library Building, the Friends and Foundation have launched the 20 for 20 Challenge and will match all gifts made in April dollar-for-dollar up to $20,000. princetonlibrary.org/support/

This is some high quality trolling.

Gen X out here like Oh well whatever never mind

If you don’t feel uncomfortable with what you hear at this talk, you need to go back and think about what that means to you.

Congratulations to Stephen King on the 50th anniversary publication of Carrie, his breakthrough novel. Moi has an Introduction in it -- longer than the one in the NY Times.... (It's got Jungian analysis, tho not by me, just sayin' ....)

Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.

Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge.

Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch…

State funeral for former prime minister Brian Mulroney:

'When Irish Eyes Are Smiling'

“We all know how Brian loved to win. Yet his most cherished victories were non-partisan—those moments where the true winner was Canada itself. Because he loved this country with all his heart.”

— PM Justin Trudeau, speaking at the state funeral for former PM Brian Mulroney.

On this day in 1892, Lord Stanley, the Governor General of Canada, sent a letter to the Ottawa Hockey Club stating his plan to purchase a challenge cup to be awarded to the hockey champion of Canada.
He later bought a punch bowl that became The Stanley Cup.

Does the existence of Kate Upton and Kate Middleton imply the existence of a Kate Downton and if so do we know her involvement in this whole thing?
