Libraries exist to help people succeed, and the business world is no exception. Many aspiring business owners got started in a public library, whether through research, attending a QuickBooks class, or creating a marketing list using free resources. https://action.everylibrary.org/libraries_and_the_business_community_a_success_story #Library #Libraries #Entrepreneur #Business #Startup #Resources

Sent my trans nephew some small $$ to help with graduation fees from Cal State. I'm broke but they're broker. Went to my US-China relations discussion group at the #Library but wished more participants would have completed the required reading. Could have added a little more depth to the discussion. My take, this is China's century on a lot of fronts.Aside from the graduation donation, spent no dough and participating in home bound self care. #MayDay

If you’re a business traveler, you know that working out of hotels, the car, and cafes can be challenging. Public libraries, however, offer a well-lit, quiet workspace with free access to wifi, meeting rooms, reference librarians, and more. https://action.everylibrary.org/a_business_traveler_s_guide_to_working_at_the_library #Library #Libraries #BusinessTraveler #Workspaces

@kimlockhartga I have a decent local library and an extensive selection from 3 library systems on Libby. The only time I've used ILL here was for a DVD when the library owned theh firstt season of a show. And then ultimately the library just bought the second season instead. When I was in college, used ILL tons.

…For decades, challenges to a given book came from a parent or another member of a local community. But in recent years, the #ALA has found, the trend shifted sharply to #government officials & such #conservative activists as #MomsForLiberty, who advocate “parental choice” [in reality, the group’s choice] in deciding what #schools & #libraries should make available. #libraries #books #BookBans #access #education #censorship #racism #misogyny #heterosexism #law #fascism #FarRight #Republicans

@samvie @rstockm Thank you very much! This looks like a great success for libraries on the Fediverse.As far as German languages go, I can count from one to ten in German, but after that I'm useless Still, I'm going to look to see if they've published anything about their journey and their successes (and failures). Auto-translations can get me the rest of the way
