Watching a PBS doc on the American Library and had to pause to rewind this library director's reaction to 50 Shades of Grey being one of the most popular titles for her patrons.

Our film is on PBS right now streaming. Taking away funding would immeasurably hurt vital services in our communities – education, journalism, emergency alerts, and local connection. Speak out before it’s too late @MyPublicMedia: bit.ly/3YMxiXB #ProtectMyPublicMedia

“Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind.”
Today is the centennial of the birth of writer and activist James Baldwin. His words continue to light up and resonate today. The @librarycongress has audio recordings of Baldwin.

At the library, we understand that the future has room for the best ideas of the past.
Two free public telephones are now available in the lobby of the Downtown Library. 5 minute time limit, outgoing calls only.
What time is it? Call the US Naval Observatory at 1-202-762-1401!
ALT A classic pay phone mounted on the wall of the downtown library by the hold shelves. The coin slot is taped over, and a sticker reads “Ann Arbor District Library Free Public Telephone”
