Scott Starkey<p>Just a reminder that your local <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> is an F'n treasure that we probably don't appreciate enough. I hadn't gone to my local one in quite a while, and boy-howdy it's so cool. I remember when my wife and I were poor and kidless, and that was our refuge. And then we had kids, and we used it even more often.</p><p>They probably need your help more than ever.</p><p><a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/SupportYourLocalLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupportYourLocalLibrary</span></a> <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/MastoSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoSupport</span></a></p>

Solarpunk Presents Podcast<p>Is there anything more solarpunk than public libraries? Serving at the heart of communities, they’re a place where anyone regardless of income, ability, race, class, or gender can go to read books, listen to music, use the internet, learn things, hear story hour, get out of the weather for a while, and ask librarians for information on just about anything, including what organizations to turn to for additional support in your life or endeavor. </p><p>In Episode 2 of Season 2 of Solarpunk Presents, Christina talks to Don Gardner, a librarian for many years for the Salinas Public Libraries in Monterey County, California. Hear about how people rescued the library after the city council tried to close it down to save money, about what libraries can do for you and your community, and about what you can do for your local library.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/YUqjdHEBwg0?si=rp7HjYo-oyPdEc4Q" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/YUqjdHEBwg0?si=rp7HjY</span><span class="invisible">o-oyPdEc4Q</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>podcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/SolarpunkPresentsPodcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarpunkPresentsPodcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/librarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>librarian</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/LibrarianInterview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibrarianInterview</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/Interview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Interview</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/SupportYourLocalLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupportYourLocalLibrary</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/LocalLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalLibraries</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.rocks/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a></p>
