Actually a librarian can help you if you have a question like this one: where can my kid burn off energy indoors and for free? If you ask your local librarian they most likely would be able to point out local options already there! #AskYourLibrarian

I am once again begging the city to open indoor playgrounds at public libraries. My child needs somewhere to burn off energy without getting frostbite, and all the private indoor trampoline parks and such are SO expensive.

I actually hate libraries with indoor playground equipment for my kids. I don't want to monitor anything they might have access to climb while I am browsing. They absolutely can and will climb it and may fall. I do love soft play areas, tables with toys, games, puppets, though

Rough week last week so finally getting the jobs up. My Grandma, my only living grandparent, found out she has an additional type of cancer and it is aggressive. Can't be with her and just feeling sad and hoping she does well with the chemo and pain meds <3

I don't want to join any LIS membership org that hides their jobs behind a paywall for members only. Ever. In this economy, with how hard people have it if you think #LibraryJobs are something only those who pay you should have access to then you aren't an org for me 1/

Moving into working on the #LibraryJobs & #LISJobs mode and sharing those on here, but first, someone who is almost 4 just made his very first paratha (with assistance) and he is very proud <3

My Aunt Marilyn just passed away today. She had just turned 90 & was in a nursing home temporarily healing from a fall when she tested positive for this coronavirus. Despite being asymptomatic mostly she passed away. 1/

My husband told me long ago that what U.S. folk lack is mercy for others. We are consumed with the self and our things/having more things and have no pity or care for the plights of others. And when we do stand up for the underdogs we are actually taking on risk. No mercy, smh

The fact that so many LIS (library and information science) leaders and keynotes are so up front about wanting in person only conferences is directly linked to how little support our leaders have given during this ongoing pandemic to staff that need to wfh for safety

It is official, we are coming back to the U.S. May 28. And while we are so happy to be able to see family, we are actually quite stressed and sad. We will be leaving behind almost everything we've accumulated here in Budapest over 5 years, granted we didn't buy much ... 1/

One of the biggest contradictions in LIS & related fields is that we talk a LOT about how work needs to be work & not family / friendship centered, then we make conferencing & the friendships formed irl a significant way to gain prestige/access to career advancement. We reward it

Public library staff are members of the community, and if you are considering reopening without addressing their concerns then you are not truly thinking of your community.

It is so very hard to be part of a field that will advocate strongly against the destruction of libraries & cultural heritage sites, as they should, re: genocide but KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT about the deaths of people. We seem to want the records of people's lives not the people

Please understand how unaware and gross asking people where they want to travel now that this is almost over is. It isn't almost over, and is raging in a lot of countries. Oh wait, you don't care as you feel safe. I thought so :/

There's a weird thing online where people think everyone who is staying home is privileged, w/ wfh flexibility & $$$. And ignore that lots of people who've been staying home have lost so much-income, relationships, access, there are lots of poor folks home too. And disabled folk

It feels really uncomfortable to see in person only (not hybrid) conferences happening in LIS again, while not everyone has access to attending safely because not all people (under 5 yo) in households can be vaccinated yet. 1/

I don't think U.S. folks realize how dangerous and on the cusp you all still are, vaccinated or not. Especially how many are not. Especially as numbers continue to rise. I get wanting things to start to resume, but ... waves from Europe (no listened/listens)

Just saw a tweet about a session at a conference that claimed you can't network online :/ Same conference people have not been wearing masks and mention of these being post-COVID time. Yikes all around
