Any politician who can be elected only by turning Americans against other Americans is too dangerous to be elected.

Accurate 💯! A librarian can’t be replaced by a volunteer who checks out books. They are co-teachers of curriculum, tech coaches, digital literacy teachers, collaborators…a librarian IS the resource…the best resource we have. @istelib @ALALibrary
Scene at my doctor's office... Nurse: So what do you do? Me: I'm a librarian. Nurse: Aren't they doing away with librarians? The problem isn't just school administrators. The problem is society's misconceptions about #whatlibrariansdo. How can we change this? #librarytwitter

This week’s article was painful for me to write as I’m an avid plastic recycler. The fact is, plastic recycling isn’t working and industry experts suspect it never will. It’s just too cheap to make new plastic but it’s piling up. We have to reduce single use plastic usage.
Plastic recycling has never been successful and industry experts say it likely never will be. Industry experts also say that plastic production will triple by the year 2050, unless we stop buying so much of it. columbiatribune.com/news/202…
