Wanda just celebrated her 100th birthday!! She's a customer of our Access Services branch. They remove barriers to library services for people with disabilities. If you know someone who could benefit, visit bit.ly/2XN8f4m #talkingbooks #centarians

San Jose opened its first "bridge" library today in East San Jose. Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Library hopes to ease geographic barriers for residents, whose next closest library is about 3 miles away. It also has the city's first library laptop checkout program.

Wonderful to see that at Manchester Central Library, unlike the university libraries I'm used to, there are no gates or barriers and anyone can wander in and use it. Real, genuine public spaces like this must be protected

Hey, this is a cool thing I've been doing for the past year: bit.ly/2FY3qSh. Thanks to @BCLApub for helping me share the trials & tribulations of media librarianship with obsolete-ish formats, & the people who love & refuse to let go of them.
