You can’t have democracy without libraries.
Democracy is a practice. It starts at the local level by building connection and community. So today on international book day check out what’s going on at your local branch!
Reading, learning, listening, chatting, connecting—this is democracy.

How are you doing dear friends?
Take a mindful breath.
Feel the earth under your feet.
Be where you are.
As you breathe in, say to yourself, I know that I am breathing in.
As you breathe out, say to yourself, I know that I am breathing out.
Repeat as needed, till you feel less overwhelmed.

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.
