This librarian tried to help a senior guest recover his Outlook email after his dog threw his phone in the bathtub, and Microsoft asked for three subject lines from his emails in his Outlook email account. He pointed out, correctly, that if he knew that information he would be in his email already. This was after we gave them a ream of his personal info, replied to a security question and sent them a code from his Gmail. #tech #DigitalDivide @librarians

i #AmReading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and it's soooo gooood! i usually listen to audiobooks before bed and i get sleepy after 15-30 mins. not with this book, i do not 😁 it's so packed with action and drama and dragons and danger and daggers pew pew pew (why does everything start on a D? 🤔)

i appreciate especially how cool the protagonist is with her sexuality and body, and she has flaws, how refreshing 😁

anyway, check it out, it's fun!

My friend Emily Drabinski is the incoming president of the American Library Association. She has been named by the Montana State Library Commission as the reason they are withdrawing Montana from the American Library Association. This is bullshit.

The ALA issued a statement about this which is all about ALA. Emily deserves our support. Please join me in signing this letter in solidarity with her and her work. Thank you.
