I've mentioned in the past that I sponsored a local female race car driver and put pro-library messages on the car. They did a "pit party" where kids could come through, see the cars, etc. Andrea got book stickers made so all the kids could sign her car. Truly some of my best library outreach work.

Today marks 36 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law on July 26, 1990. When this law was passed and signed into law by George H.W. Bush, it affirmed that disabled Americans deserve the same rights as everyone else.

Navy blue graphic titled 'Celebrating the Anniversary of the ADA — Commemorating 36 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act.' Four text boxes cover: the ADA was signed by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990 to ensure equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities; the anniversary honors the law's prohibition of discrimination in public life; the day aligns with Disability Pride Month, celebrating disability community, culture, and leadership while recognizing ongoing work; and Lauren's devotion to disability rights and accessibility, noting the ADA rallies opposition to DOJ integration rollbacks and proposed safety-net benefit cuts, with the Lauren Jewett for U.S. Congress District 1 logo. Center graphic reads 'ADA — Americans with Disabilities Act — 36 — Celebrate July 26, 2026' with the accessible icon symbol.

🪶New in Murmurations: K.R. Roberto's “Operationalizing Bias.” In this piece, the author describes "the problems in classification that I was personally experiencing" during an LIS PhD program, "namely, the ways in which my transness inexplicably led to medical issues and confused classmates."
