Whether you're working, marching, reveling in Spring (Fall in the Southern Hemisphere) or recognizing your fellow workers, Booklady Cooks wishes you a glorious May Day.
From its roots in European pagan religions to celebrate the fertility of Spring, to its more recent recognition as International Workers Day, there are so many reasons to take a moment and appreciate the Spring day as well as the work that goes into all the goods and services we rely on every day.
So many of these resources are available to everyone regardless of their ability to pay - it makes the recent cuts to library and museum services heartbreaking. So much of our history and culture will be lost if we don't continue to support these resources.
Get things done. Sometimes, working at home has so many distractions so I take my laptop to the library and get so much done. Wifi is free and so are many of the online resources. Events for adults and kids! Storytime, maker spaces, rare book showings, speakers, live music.... EDF
Checking out physical books - I still love the feel and smell of a book in my hand, but sometimes, I want a book RIGHT NOW or I'm traveling, so I check out ebooks and read them on my KOBO reader, my phone, or my computer.
Our Maricopa County Libraries all have free passes you can check out for local museums, zoos and botanical gardens. You can check out exploration backpacks, citizen science kits, hotspots, seeds and so much more! #booksky #libraries

🍞Toast is one of those things that remind me that life is so much bigger than current events. That people have found reasons to get up and live life every day.
