"The important thing is that people use the library. More usage helps the library. But I also would turn that statement around and say that more usage strengthens the people of Detroit." freep.com/story/news/local/d…
I'm reminding myself to look for the helpers and to look for good things. And this story, shared in @SaMyaOverall 's newsletter, is a good thing. youtu.be/sIcAyRHCjUc?si=Cr5Y…

Now, more than ever, we must consider our libraries as sanctuaries for all — especially to those most vulnerable. As freedoms are threatened, the @aadl continues to hold progressive programming, expansive resources, and accessible information. Please support your local library.

Our members’ journalism is essential. So is a fair contract for Detroit News employees. We are ready to fight for it.
#DetNewsUnited, #FairContract2024

My family is always trying to grow our list of Detroit restaurants that are good for kids. Working definition:
-Casual, won't bother someone's fancy dinner
-Food options for kids
-Room for stroller/accessibility, easy seating
Here's our list, what should we add?

We have this beautiful old county building downtown Detroit. It has sat empty for many years now. What would be some good uses for it? Museum, housing, food hall, coworking space? historicdetroit.org/building…
