Steve- I’m with you in this. I think librarians can lead in a positive way here - but I’m seeing a lot of fatalism in some circles. Have you see the work of www.humanetech.com

As a middle school librarian- I think that change has happened with young readers and it’s great to see. So many wonderful things for them to experience that just didn’t seem to exist when I was their age.

Maybe it’s different in Europe 🤷

I think the challenge now is, when you "refine a search" in NEWS you no longer get just news - this is the banner above the search results I get:

Notice from Google News Search that reads "When you frine a search, Google may include saerch results other htan news content."

Dr. Danielle Allen had a great series in Washington Post about this last year - including one on can we even fit more in the building (yes)-her work is really worth a read

Opinion | The House was supposed to grow with population. It didn’t. Let’s fix that.

The framers never wanted members to represent such large districts — and with good reason.

Good thread . Thanks for sharing here. The pollution analogy seems spot on.

Really love my teacher librarian job in Vermont. Schools are required to have librarians here. Teacher pay is not evenly distributed across the state though & (like everywhere) some places are more affordable than others.

Thanks for this article! I'm sure it will help grow community here. 🎉 I'm really hopeing to see more of my fellow Vermont librarians come along - I shared your article and offered up all my codes on our state listserv. Should they not be taken I'll send them along.
