Happy Pride Month!
Many scientists, well-known and otherwise, identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Above is a philatelic first-day cover with stamps memorializing marine biologist, Rachel Carson (1907-1964). Carson was an advocate for controlled agricultural chemical usage and government regulation of pollutants. Most known for her authorship of Silent Spring, Rachel Carson’s work was the starting point of the environmental movement as we know it today.
Carson was a lesbian but kept her sexuality private for her entire life. Her relentless battle against the unchecked use of pesticides put her in the firing line for criticism from large agricultural industries. Carson’s critics would often discredit her due to her gender, and so her decision not to come out was likely rooted in efforts to protect her already-limited authority in a period when homophobia was particularly rampant.
Some other prominent scientists who identify as LGBTQA+ include Martin Gouterman, Sara Josephine Baker, Gregory Hillhouse, Ben Barres, and Loise Pearce.

“The library is not just an information center. It’s always been a refuge for anyone to come to, whatever status in society. For people, intellectuals, pseudo-intellectuals, for lonely people. For every walk of life.”
—From Meanwhile in San Francisco by Wendy MacNaughton

[id: Tweet by iconawrites, which reads: "I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income." end id.]
I was a grown ass adult before I realized the library was free. I went into the library and asked to join. When they gave me the form to fill out for a library card, I asked if they took credit cards and the librarian had to explain to me that the library was free. You did not pay to join it.
I cried.
ITS FREE?? YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO PAY MONEY FOR THE CARD??? THATS AMAZING
I think some librsries might have you oay a small fee for the card but most dont.
Most don't charge for the card as long as it's your first one. There may be a $5 fee to replace it if you lose it.
Or not. Depends on the local library's funds. But their budget generally includes free cards for users.
Libraries are free! We may charge if you don't live in our county/state/down/district, but that's because your taxes don't go toward paying for us. Many libraries are even going fine free for late materials, so if you're forgetful like me, it's okay! And we offer e-book and downloadable audiobook services, so you can get books for free even from home!
Use your local library, we're pretty cool!

Do you know where you can get free books (and movies, audiobooks, and cds)? Public libraries.
Do you know what is currently under attack by many parts of our government and could really use your support? Public libraries.
