Today’s picture is appropriate because I went to see the elephants this morning at the Cleveland Zoo — it’s a fantastic habitat and the park is wonderful. Just a reminder to get out and see the wildlife and support your local zoological park’s conservation efforts. The world may be on fire, but animals don’t care about politics (and it’s one of the areas where we can actually make a difference).
Anyway, to the latest project news. First, I haven’t been working as hard as I could have, but I’m also teaching, so… yeah. A girl’s got to be able to play PS5 sometimes, after all. That being said, I have made some progress this month. I have not visited libraries as I’d hoped, but I am making some contacts and working on setting up my categories for the eventual bibliographical data. In the meantime, I’ll keep plinking away at it (I’m almost done with libraries that start with “C”).
Number of libraries confirmed: 93
Number of libraries entered into the database: 2
