"When we treat libraries as communities rather than commodities, we serve with love and respect, ensuring they remain strong, welcoming, and sustainable for all."

Catching up on some Harvard Business Review before my #SaturdayLibrarian shift. ☕️ 📚 #alwayslearning #saturdaymorning
It seems evident that this task force doesn’t consider Iowa’s future or Iowa’s municipal workforce a worthy investment. Our police, teachers, and librarians mean more to Iowa taxpayers than this group perceives. The People of Iowa deserve more than this myopic farce. #IALegis

Not by clash of sword or flame, Nor strength that shouts victory’s name— But by quiet, steady breath Holding ground through life & death. I do not seek a throne or fight, I walk by faith and not by sight. Each step I take, both slow & true, Is Spirit-led—and leads to you.
New ALA President @GeometricRabbit discusses how Annual served as a reminder that our work is urgent—and our movement unstoppable. americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2025/07/23/why…
UPDATE: Missing sections of the Constitution Annotated website have been restored. Upkeep of Constitution Annotated and other digital resources is a critical part of the Library’s mission, and we appreciate the feedback that alerted us to the error and allowed us to fix it.…
Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.
If you grew up without cable, you became pretty familiar with the PBS Kids morning and afternoon lineups. Future generations may not have that option as federal budget cuts target public media. open.substack.com/pub/tyrushing/…
Reunited with some amazing humans in PA and wrapped the night at an unforgettable FFEJ of July house party—complete with the one and only Growlie the Blue Gorilla. Vibes: immaculate. 🦍💙 #FFEJofJuly #GrowlieSighting #BlueGorillaEnergy
Local news about local folks by local journalism is essential for a prosperous & productive Iowa. This is a significant loss to our communities. I anticipate calling our Iowa representatives today (all voted for these cuts) to share concerns. #LocalNews #ialegis #ListenLocal
Treadmill at moderate speed? ✅ Great walking tunes? ✅ Engaging reading material? ✅ Reading, music, and movement are good for the body and mind. What’s your self care of choice today? #MidWeekMotivation #AmReading #HappyMaking
Excited to catch the last day of @SnakeAlleyFest! Lots of wonderful and thought provoking submissions this year. #HomeForTheWeekend #snakealleyfestivaloffilm
Blueberry Pie Oreos are back and honestly? New Oreo flavor day should be a national holiday. Willpower: zero. Joy: maximum. 🫐 🥧 🍪 #Oreo #HappyMaking
🎶 “It doesn’t matter what I say so long as I sing with inflection . . .” 🎶 Enjoying the soft grass, the setting sun, and three favorite bands (Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, and Gin Blossoms) tonight. #MondayNight #90salternative #HappyMaking
Before the sun knows I’m there, I walk, past a field of paradoxa— gold coneflowers tilting in the hush. A rabbit startles, then disappears into the murmuring bulrush. Seed hairs drift like soft intentions, catching light, catching me, as morning warms quietly behind.
First #coffeeselfie ☕️ on the road trip home for #July4th. 🇺🇸 Remember: A literate nation is a free one. The Founders knew that liberty depends on an informed people. “Don’t Tread on Me” only works if we can read the fine print. #FreedomToRead #IndependenceDay
✅ packed for @ALALibrary #ALAAC25 ✅ reviewed and approved timesheets ✅ little time for breakfast and a devotional Hoping everyone has a blessed start to their week! Rooting for you and the paths you’ll illuminate for others though your care, diligence, and love!
BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)
Lucanus cervus, mandibles wide, not in threat as if measuring the world. I find you on the path, glossed in rain, chewing through the soaked air like we’ve both been pushed too far by this heat-heavy week. What luck to meet a symbol of wealth when everything else feels spent.
Gables lean with stories old, In bricks and beams, their past is told. From “Janke’s” name to “Yankee” pride, Two nations’ tales intertwine. By cobbled lanes bicycles glide, Past bookshop nooks dreamers ride, The canals hum low in golden light— Then hush beneath a starry night.
