Revive the 1857 Mansion: Urgent Restoration gofund.me/df651f26

Since the #WorldSeries begins tonight, we thought we’d share this Library treasure. Rare footage of the final game of the 1924 World Series! It was found in an attic, then sent to the Library to be preserved & digitized. Read more in this 2014 blog post: go.loc.gov/TR9h50Q1Ceb

@silasdhouse I am proud to call you my friend! I knew this honor had to be on its way, and I was correct.

I cannot begin to thank everyone for the wonderful support so many of you have given me after the recent announcement of my appointment as Kentucky's new Poet Laureate. I can feel the love and I appreciate it more than I can say. aol.com/news/york-time…

@silasdhouse And just think, I knew you when. Congrats!

I am honored to have been named the new poet laureate of Kentucky by Gov. Andy Beshear. As a writer who was raised working class and in trailers, as a questioning person of faith, and as the first openly gay poet laureate I will do my best to represent my place and my people.

Consider a donation to the Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving. We aim to raise at least $2,900 in honor or memory of members. I would like to eventually create an endowed scholarship in memory of Wes Lewis, an early member and my one-time roommate.

@susie_dent How do we pronounce quafftide?

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’(16th century): a one-word announcement that it’s time for a drink.

@teri_atthepaper Are you talking about Bonnie Raitt? Some of the comments I've seen are making fun of people for not knowing Bonnie Raitt is a big deal . . . kind of like when people praised Kanye for giving an unknown (Paul McCartney) his big break.

@teri_atthepaper I’m happy for you and your success!

When a website asks how old I am, I just scroll down to, “iPhone flashlight is always on.” #WeTweet

I don't know what's better—the pitcher crying or the hitter comforting him. Also why can't we stay like this our whole lives?

@teri_atthepaper Scrappy is the way I describe you to friends and strangers on the train.

Emily Bingham, the author of "My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song" will be speaking tonight at the Paul Sawyier Library. There are remaining seats for the free event.

@teri_atthepaper Maybe they can find the Calvin Klien overcoat I lost at the Capitol.
