Springfield Library
Hours
8 - 12

Only four hours a day? Someone should lobby Mayor Quimby for more funding so they can have extended hours. #FundOurLibraries

"Okay. Here you go.
The phone book for Hokkaido, Japan."

"Thank you. May I please use your phone?"

"Is it a local call?"

"Y... Yes."

Temporary blocks are good: judicial orders to REINSTATE BLOCKED FUNDS is critical.

#fundourlibraries
Federal judges have issued temporary orders to block the Trump administration from taking any further steps toward gutting the agency.

But the unexpected slashing of grants has delivered a significant blow to many libraries.

Libraries across the United States are cutting back on e-books, audiobooks and loan programs after the Trump administration suspended millions of dollars in federal grants as it tries to dissolve…

Feeling v. nervous about speaking at city council tomorrow. Reviewing my notes and thought others may find this interesting; even before VPL's recent cut to hours, Vancouver ranked low compared to nearby municipalities (we averaged 60 weekly hours per branch then). #vanpoli

I just learned about the Vancouver Public Library’s #BiblioBike program and I can’t deal with how cute this is: www.vpl.ca/program/bibl... #librarysky

P.S. I hope you sign up to speak, too! I don't have @pwaldkirch.bsky.social's musical chops, but I'll be calling in on Wednesday to support funding for our libraries. #vanpoli #FundOurLibraries

Ended the afternoon with a progress & planning meeting with my local union’s SLMC Leadership Committee. We will continue our fight for fairly funded school libraries in our district and our state. #FundOurSchools #FundOurLibraries #KidsNeedBooks

Libby is fabulous as well. I use that and hoopla. Hoopla is great for films and AMC tv shows I need to catch up on. ❤️ #fundourlibraries

Taking your children to the library is not only an integral step in raising knowledgeable children, but an opportunity to develop a sense of fun and community within learning environments!! So many parents miss out 😔 #FundOurLibraries 🖤
I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.
