Happy National Library Week!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Library_Week

Some things you can do this week to celebrate:

- Get yourself a library card, if you haven't already, or help someone else sign up!
- Check out your library's free resources and services, or attend an event!
- Donate to your local library, if you have the means!
- Call your elected representatives' offices, and tell them why libraries are important to you and your community: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member

A two-panel Charlie Brown comic. In the first panel, three young children (Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus) stand outside. One of the children, Linus, approaches the other two children, holding a library card, and says: "Look! Library card! I've taken out a library card!" He stands proud, holding his library card to his chest, and continues: "I have been given my citizenship in the land of knowledge!"

Top left: cover of Manipulator's War: Left: portrait of young Heir Ruarnon, their hair braided back, eyes outlined with kohl, wearing fitted bronze armour, a bronze disc kilt, holding a helmet in their left hand and leaning on a spear with their right, which pierces the ‘A’ in the title. Right: Red glyphs outline a stone archway, through which fire arrows rain down on torch-lit battlements atop a castle, at night time. Bottom text: Elise Carlson, Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1 Top right: Manipulator's War. Abductions, treason and geographical necessity drag three diverse young people into a war none wish to fight and two must lead. The greatest danger is what they don't know.
