@GottaLaff I just returned from a large conference, where only about a dozen of us were masked. On Saturday, they started making masks available at the information desk when a few attendees tested positive for Covid. Today, people are panicking as they arrive home sick. It’s definitely not over, & there’s no reason to go maskless when in large crowds indoors!
@tultican Like most private schools.

As the battle over #bookbans in #schools and #libraries continues to play out in various states across the U.S., the toll it’s taking on #librarians is coming at a great cost — personally and financially. Many librarians are speaking up about fearing for their jobs and safety. NPR’s Tovia Smith traveled to Louisiana where tensions have been flaring up — pitting librarians against book ban advocates in the local community. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1193446007 #education #censorship #CivilLiberties
