Johnson, VT is my favorite town in all of Vermont. The community is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered. This video came up on my FYP - they moved the library because it was flooded twice! Jaw dropping ingenuity in the face of climate change.

#PreservationWeek is coming to a close. I would like to remind everyone that in an age of rising mis and disinformation, a faithful non-partisan keeping of our collective memory is more important than ever. #Archivists preserve the past as it happened so we can shape the future we want to see.

Happy #preservationweek! Our preservation team is slowly chipping away at the books waiting to be mended/ preserved (not literally chipping, that would defeat the purpose lol)
