It’s slick out there this Monday morning. Be careful, news junkies.
- NYPL’s Helen Bernstein Award for working journalists short list;
- Guess what the White House would like? For you to be less educated in critical thinking, which is why they’re advertising about options other than university — line up kiddies, to get certified as button pushers and lever pullers!;
- Number one library withdrawal? Diary of a Wimpy Kid… We are currently on our fourth time through these books at nur house;
- Q: What inspired Elon Musk to go to space (I mean, besides so much money it’s hard to spend it in significant amounts here on Earth)? — A: Asimov;
- Bookninja buddy Andrew Pyper, who I affectionately call “The Pipes”, is coming to TV…. no, not the author himself (though he’s friggin good looking enough for it), but his book The Residence;
- Look, every week I give you myriad reasons to love libraries… If you won’t listen to me, I’ll have to haul out the big guns: Nick Offerman;
- RIP: poet Lisel Mueller, 73;
- Books from podcasts;
- Should you read American Dirt? I wonder to what benefit except being able to gossip about it, esp when there are so many other good books on the same topic that aren’t …. gross;
- Coronavirus is starting to postpone important things, like book festivals.
