DogMomIrene Watched a Boston news segment on YouTube about how it reopened this morning. Said 5 visitor-facing probationary employees were laid off, though, and that sounds permanent. Just awful. 1mo

dabbe I am moved to say this word that's so hard to say: NO. No, I didn't vote for this. And I stand with my head held high as I now do this: 😡😤🤬 1mo

AmyG I am beyond happy to hear it reopened! 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I hate how much chaos they are causing. It appears the library is reopened, but I cannot find if they brought back enough staff to keep it open? I am not at all surprised unfortunately, this administration hates history and truth. 1mo

bookishbitch I am so over this administration already. 1mo

AnnCrystal Glad that it reopened.

Scary times 😢 I didn't vote for this either 📚🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸📚.

Books & artist will always be considered a threat. We should gather and do a protest by going outside, finding a safe, legal place to sit, and read from dawn to dusk for a day. If anything, it will drive the suppressors crazy. Writers should come with typewrites or journals and artist with canvases.

Just to be clear, I am not officially suggesting this 😜📚💝. (edited) 1mo

BarbaraBB Are libraries being shut down in the US? Because of money or because of that horrible man? 1mo

Lindy Amy, I feel odd acknowledging your post with a heart. I want the option of a broken heart instead. 😔 1mo

AmyG Oh @Lindy 😞 1mo

forestandcrow My library is trying to change my kids library card to where she cannot check out books they deem "inappropriate" for her age. They are trying to also not let us use our cards at other libraries not in our network. They are moving books that the religious zealouts here deem "pornographic" or "inappropriate" for kids without reading them. Our library is aleeady small enough. It is awful. I have emailed so manytimes about it all. 1mo

Susanita Hateful people doing hateful things. 1mo

AmyG @forestandcrow That‘s horrible. I am now trying to make a library of books for my grandson-history, science, banned books…from used book sales. This world. 😞🤬 1mo

MemoirsForMe 😱😱😱 1mo

AshleyHoss820 And people made fun of me for amassing a large in-home library. I knew what was coming. This is all so exhausting. (edited) 1mo

CoverToCoverGirl This all so sad and overwhelming.. 1mo

ncsufoxes We are going to try & go to the Smithsonian‘s National African American Museum of History & Culture this weekend. Since I fear they will be spiteful & shut it down. 1mo

AmyG @AshleyHoss820 I‘m with you on this. 👊🏻 @ncsufoxes That you even had to type that breaks my heart. @CoverToCoverGirl It is. 😢 (edited) 1mo

ncsufoxes @AmyG same, it makes me sad & angry that this is something I have to even think about 1mo

I found this to be a very good read. Especially if you're not fully aware of this man...or his presidency. It's a #chunkster so be prepared to settle in for a few days read. Truly a very good and interesting book. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 1y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Working my way through the presidential bios. This one was good. I was a little bummed that the only audio version was abridged (although not THAT bummed since it came after really long books about Truman and Eisenhower). Still learned a lot, especially about Kennedy‘s foreign policy experiences.

Roary47 I‘m encouraged to read through the bios now. What a great way to learn more about history. 2y

fredthemoose @Roary47 Give it a shot! At least for a time period you‘re interested in. I started a few years ago and it has really shored up a lot of my understanding of American history. A lot of the biographies are long, but many are also quite good. (edited) 2y

My plan is to read at least a chapter a day in an effort to start working more non-fiction off my TBR pile.

Kaye I will be interested in seeing your reviews since I like nonfiction. Sorry if this posts twice. My first comment isn‘t showing up. 🤨 7y
