Time for an #introduction post. I’m a Kansan & a #librarian. I spent many years working in #library #technology. #information-policy (part. #broadband & #digital-equity & #privacy) remains of interest, as does supporting #publiclibraries. I changed careers & now work on #healthpolicy (esp #Medicaid, #CHIP, & #immunizations) for a state level kids advocacy org, advocating in the #ksleg (KS legislature). I’m also a cat mom to #Storm & photos of her shenanigans will show up from time to time.
If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

If you haven’t heard, #flu season isn’t looking great. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/23453765/flu-season-2022-2023-winter-influenza-shot-vaccine
✳️Please get your flu shot ASAP
✳️Consider masking up in large group settings
✳️Stay home when you feel sick.
I’m masking up again in indoor public spaces, indefinitely, to do my part but also bc flu & colds wrecks havoc on my respiratory system. Masks have worked quite well for me as a prevention tool.

Exactly! Masks are beneficial when illness rates are high to keep kids in school (and parents at work).

"Masks should be referred to as a primary means of increasing learning—not the opposite—because kids cannot learn when they are at home sick, in the hospital, or when their instructors are out sick," write Jonathan Levy, Robin Cogan and Esther Choo

PSA: There is no substitute for a flu vaccine.
I'm a former ultramarathon runner and barely have any reaction to the annual shot. Yet viral illnesses still disrupt my work, routine, and I'm usually sick enough to give them to others.
Do Healthy Stuff ✅ Vaccinate ✅ (Both!)
