Get a library card. Use it. Talk positively about the library to friends and on social media. Go to city council and library board meetings. Speak up. Vote in local elections. Pay attention to state legislation and call your representative. Donate to Friends of the Library.

What are the best ways for members of the public to support libraries now? To the extent the answer differs, how can we best support librarians too?

My husband has been scheming to get me Kindle Unlimited for a while now apparently and he surprised me with it yesterday 🥹 it means so much to me that I have someone that supports what I love and just wants me to be happy and have good books to read!

I reuse plastic bags as much as I can, but it would be better to just carry around reusable ones, especially because I plan to go to the farmers market a lot in spring 😊

Since my very first editing project in 2020, I have kept a doc called "Things I've Learned While Editing" where I write new words I learn, cool facts, and other misc. things that I learn from each project. It is one of my favorite things I've done for myself, and everyone should make one, IMO!
