#KWAwesome resident @JL_Laurie is bringing Little Libraries online with an amazing grassroots initiative: The #KWOnlineLittleLibrary! πŸ“š Intrigued? It's simple: Have a book? Share a book! Need a book? Have a look! Check out the form for more details: bit.ly/3dG6Ogx

This is very promising news, not least because some of streets which will see new bike lanes are horrible car sewers that are dangerous/unpleasant to bike/walk on. But a note of caution: while the extra KMs are good, this needs to be a CONNECTED NETWORK with safe intersections!

I'm a BIG fan of Ren Navarro's (founder of @Beer_Diversity) work - and her lessons on diversity + inclusion in the craft beer industry are not surprisingly applicable to how we address racism in all workplaces. Communitech @AlexKinsella buff.ly/3iOVDoY
