Today's Poetry Thread: CHANGE
Whenever I'm feeling afraid of change, I say this poem aloud. Feel free to add poems.

ALT Spring and Fall to a young child Márgarét, áre you gríeving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leáves like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! ás the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you wíll weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: Sórrow’s spríngs áre the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It ís the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for. —Gerard Manley Hopkins

Original context to the post being shared. The graphic was just the call for support for Abby Zwerner.

One of the most beloved free-to-use photos in the Library's collection is of Brünnhilde, for obvious reasons. We're happy to report that 2023 comes with a freshly digitized photograph of Brünnhilde from another angle. 😻

On Friday, @planetmoney did an episode on libraries in ebooks.
I waited on listening, knowing I'd have to take notes and rant about it, because most news coverage is so bad on this issue.
Parts are really good. Other parts are... well...
Get your popcorn.
I’m sure he’s a busy guy, so I’m grateful Jason Momoa liked several of my tweets from 2020 🤷🏻♀️. @afaix, our research transcends fields 😂
It did not have to be this way :/
Serious News: The EMU-AAUP Negotiating Team has asked the EMU-AAUP Executive Committee to hold a meeting to vote to Authorize a Strike.
This is terrible news to come out on #LaborDayWeekend. IT DID NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

Bloody hell. Looking at a message from the Ukraine Library Association concerning the cancellation of their forthcoming conference. it basically says "We will reschedule just as soon as we have finished vanquishing our invaders". Ukrainian Librarians, I salute you

Educators know
you can
tell students an exam
is approaching
provide them in advance
with the questions
as well as the answers
and even permit them
to use their notes
at the exam
and still
the students will fail.
By now we know
how to pass the plague’s test
and still
we fail.
Free conference alert! Looking forward to a virtual poster session with the fantastic Kimberly T. Foster
