The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

School librarians do more than collect books. They assist faculty with curricula, assist students with research and writing skills, encourage curiosity, show patrons how to find facts over misinformation.

If you care about literacy rates AND YOU SHOULD BECAUSE IT REALLY MATTERS, then you cannot cut school librarians.
School libraries staffed by certified school librarians improve reading capacity. Every bit of research we have proves this. It's a settled question.

I did not know this.
ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.
