I love this so much. The Washington DC public library has started a new project called Friendship Benches. You can sign up for a time slot to go to a public library and talk with a volunteer "grandparent" who has been trained to listen. The program is up and running at several DC library locations. What a beautiful, analog solution to the estrangement of our current times!Public libraries rock. #Library #PublicLibrary https://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/15725662
