Honored to have been named @ctlibraryassociation ’s Legislator of the Year — along with @repkavrosdegraw@senatorduff@senatorcecimaher@tonyhwangct (they hadn’t given it out in more than 5 years, so we’re all 2026!). Eleni, Tony and I worked together to pass our nation-leading ebooks legislation to support libraries in negotiating against the publishers’ onerous demands and prices just for libraries. Bob and Ceci led on the Right to Read legislation (which I was proud to support). A special honor for a big nerd and lover of books and libraries! 📕 📚
POV: The staff see the social media boy coming their way.
No librarians were harmed in the making of this reel…just mildly inconvenienced.

At our latest Joe R. Sexton Lecture Series, @beckyaikmanauthor brought the women of Spitfires out of the margins and into full view: WWII pilots who flew aircraft into uncertainty, faced down fear at 10,000 feet, and refused to live within the limits set for them.
