Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

Nobody wants Library of Congress collections getting WET, but it does happen from time to time. 🫣 That’s why the Preservation Emergency Response Team (PERT) exists, to help mitigate damage when collections encounter water. Here's a sneak peek at PERT's recent training workshop.

So very kind that a stipend is paying for all Native students wanting to participate and mailing them a free copy of the book!
Can my friends help spread the word?

As we all grieve the immense loss of actor James Earl Jones (Star Wars, The Lion King), I wanted to celebrate one his funnier milestones, reading Letterman’s best Top Ten List, reciting commercial jingles with his spectacular, powerful, booming voice. #RIPJamesEarlJones

Let's make this the new universal book challenge policy:
Parents have every right to restrict what their own children are allowed to read. They have zero right to make those decisions for anyone else's kids. Ever.
