Library Land Project

We think a lot about the role rural libraries play in delivering critical services, including broadband access.  From friends at Allconnect: "Federal programs provide millions for rural internet access" ... @allconnect allconnect.com/blog/rural-bro… H/T Rob Mitchell

@autumnleaves515 @SugarloafMaine Taking this as a friendly challenge ... I need to schedule a library/skiing trip ASAP (Thanks, Adam Z.)

Adam's first ever visit to Ireland was extra special with stops along the way at the Long Room/Book of Kells at Trinity College; the National Library of Ireland; Adare Library; and Dingle Library. Erin go Bragh 🇮🇪 Read on in our latest blog post ... librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

@autumnleaves515 @WestwoodPLKids Nicely done. We can relate ... After Newton Free Library our next several visits were to Wellesley, Wayland, Weston and eventually Wilmington at the start of the project.

@autumnleaves515 @BeineckeLibrary @Yale Amazing. We will follow you path some day!

Most seem fine with fine-free. Is it time to expand to fee-free? Particularly for something as unexpectedly essential as a fax machine. Latest from the blog: librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…?

New year and new check in at Greenfield Public Library. A visit during the construction of the new library, which is expected to open its doors in May! librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

@autumnleaves515 @randall_library @Honeypothill Nice combination!

We recently visited the Leicester Public Library and the Robert Sugden Library in Spencer. Both were great and wonderful reminders of why we love visiting and exploring public libraries! librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

Are you being groomed by your public library or by reading a book?! librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

@kerrydonahue75 @AndoverLibrary He is too ;)

Our latest blog post takes a look at misinformation on @tiktok_us, and questions if public libraries should be on the platform. Partially inspired by the works of @ShorensteinCtr & @abbieasr. librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

Is it time to rethink libraries posting on @tiktok_us? librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

Two sunny summer weekends, and two lovely coastal libraries - one, in Camden, Maine, and the other, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

There are millions of library fans out there (including you, we hope!), but many more millions who are simply apathetic when it comes to public libraries. Our post looks at huge risks in facing the forces of ignorance & censorship. librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…?

Earlier this week, National Public Radio did a wonderful piece on the @oaklibrary and its “Found in a Book” exhibit. It brought to mind our visits to two branches of the library in June, and thought it was a good reminder to share a post. librarylandproject.org/stories-blog/2…

@kerrydonahue75 @NahantBeachMA @NahantLibrary @jplicks One of our absolute favorites! Glass stacks are a highlight, but it all feels comfortable and welcoming.

@kerrydonahue75 @PortPublicLibME Great! We want to go there.

It's @MinLibNet Library Crawl tomorrow! A great way to explore multiple libraries in the area. Details here: docs.google.com/document/d/1O_… #mlncrawl2022

@kerrydonahue75 @bangorlibrary Beautiful
