This American Library Association (ALA) campaign is widely looked forward to not just by myself, but by library teams across the country. It’s only fitting to honor her by researching her accomplishments and continuing her life’s work in preserving…

The concept of infinity is the closest thing that resembles how complicated life is. Take away one from infinity and you still have infinity; take away a complication from life and life is still complicated. One of those many complicated factors in life is responsibility, which is just another part of life that does not have a simple explanation.
