From the blog: "This summer, I traveled more than I have in recent years and took a plane for the first time since before 2020. In preparation, I dove deep into a rabbit hole of travel information, a rabbit hole I’m still in, to be frank – YouTube reviews of luggage and personal items, podcasts about packing cubes, and blogs full of discussions of everything from the best way to create your travel capsule wardrobe to the many issues of ethics and sustainability surrounding travel. ... You’d think I was heading out for a life on the road rather than planning a few long weekends away in the contiguous United States.

From the blog: "Disability Pride Month, which occurs every July, is an opportunity to celebrate and honor the lives, accomplishments, and experiences of those belonging to the disability community... Though Disability Pride Month remains to be recognized by the federal government, it has gained momentum through the last thirty-four years and is celebrated in many cities and states throughout the United States. There are many ways to become more informed about the experiences of persons with disabilities and to appreciate their contributions to our society. One way, of course, is to read titles available here at the library..." #library #librarylife #booklist #summerreading #disabilitypride https://lnkd.in/ehuuGrJ9

From the blog: "As we approach the midway point of the library’s summer reading programs, participants in our Teen Summer Volunteer Program (TSV) are kicking it into high gear. Our 80+ volunteers are divided into three cohorts (Literacy Advocate, Maker Assistant and Program Intern) that explore various elements of (behind-the-scenes) library life. They dedicate several hours of their summer break to the library and our community. And wonderfully, many TSV participants continue their involvement with the library beyond one summer – by volunteering year after year, joining our Teen Advisory Board, or collaborating with the library on programs and events they’ve created themselves." #library #librarylife #volunteer #volunteerism https://lnkd.in/eyymWBF6

From the blog: "We are always eager to offer suggestions to readers, sharing books on specific themes and topics through displays and book lists. In fact, we don’t always get to talk about books as much as we’d like to and we love to hear about what you’re enjoying too. While we do have a staff picks display on the first floor and many book lists to match, I thought it would be fun to learn about what library staff are currently reading.

From the blog: "Stickers, coupons for ice cream and summer reading logs go together like barbecues and fireworks on the Fourth of July. But, summer reading and an America the Beautiful National Park Pass or a print subscription to either National Geographic or The Atlantic are also valid associations one could make. Those are a few of the grand prizes that adults can win if they submit a completed summer reading log by Aug. 15." #library #librarylife #summerreading https://lnkd.in/ea3xersB

From the blog: "Centuries ago, the edges of the pages of a book were sometimes decorated in gold leaf, abstract designs, or even tiny paintings as a display of the wealth and status of the owner. At that time, books were rare and valuable, and great care was taken in all aspects of their production. Fortunately for us, books are no longer as difficult to obtain or as expensive as they once were." #library #librarylife #publishing https://lnkd.in/eZ2xAAgC

From the blog: "Everyone has a story to tell. Even if a person sees no great value in their own story or chooses not to share it, the texture of each individual’s life is so rich with experience that before long they have collected memories and personal histories of considerable interest to others. One way the library honors these stories within the community is through Voices of Princeton, an oral history initiative established in partnership with the Historical Society of Princeton, the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, and the Arts Council of Princeton. As it says on the project’s website, “The goal of the project is to collect, share, and archive stories and memories of Princetonians.” Through its efforts, these Princetonians’ stories become part of the historical record and they may be made available in the Historical Society of Princeton’s archives or on the library’s website for the project." #library #librarylife #oralhistory #localhistory #humanities https://lnkd.in/evnWeVFe
