Wow, Really Crowded Downtown This Evening ...

Downtown Chicago skyline at night

I was headed to Navy Pier to see Mavis Staples (Chicago Live) but downtown was full as well!

United Against Book Bans

ALA's got a new report on the number of books banned.  Yuck! (and not only yuck but something we all need to oppose).  There's a form to join the campaign as well as a link to the (fast approaching) Banned Books Week (10/1-10/7).  We all need to get involved!  Let Freedom Read!

9/11 -- We'll Never Forget!

Burning towers of the World Trade Center looking south.

It's that time of year to remember the absolutely awful event that happened twenty-two years ago.  I did a write-up a couple years ago [link to write-up].

Living in New York at the time, I also put together a video of events as I and others experienced them [link to video].

We will never forget!
