Book Description
Freckle reports are analyses of the data and performance of public libraries in the US, the UK and Australia This edition contains the reports from both 2020 and 2021 The reports describe the decline in use of public libraries and propose actions that can be used to remedy that situation. The 2020 report highlighted a number of specific areas for work, and the 2021 report develops those and adds some new observation made during the time of the pandemic lockdowns Crosby Kemper, director IMLS: "These reports raise the larger challenge of the question of what libraries are about. Are we still about books and reading or are we drifting off into community services of varying degrees of importance to the community. There is a challenge to the focus of library leadership and the strategies for the future. They also raise the question of the pre-pandemic decline in visitor-ship and circulation. There is the shift within circulation to eBooks and audio books and streaming services. Do any of our statistics capture the questions pertinent to the digital divide? Is the decline in computer sessions related to increasing community connectivity and what does that connectivity mean regarding digital literacy? And perhaps the most important question raised in the two reports is 'does the decline in children's circulation have an impact on the educational divide and basic literacy?' Part of the Freckle challenge is whether or not we are even collecting and highlighting the most important strategic information. What information do we need? Would detailed budget information, population diversity, SES information better inform decision making? How do we measure impact beyond basic outputs? Is there a utilitarian answer? Is there an aspirational answer? Are they compatible? With decline in basic outputs are libraries in decline or changing the way they impact communities?"

Book Description
What if we truly belong to each other? What if we are all walking around shining like the sun? Mystic, monk, and activist Thomas Merton asked those questions in the twentieth century. Writer Sophfronia Scott is asking them today. In The Seeker and the Monk, Scott mines the extensive private journals of one of the most influential contemplative thinkers of the past for guidance on how to live in these fraught times. As a Black woman who is not Catholic, Scott both learns from and pushes back against Merton, holding spirited, and intimate conversations on race, ambition, faith, activism, nature, prayer, friendship, and love. She asks: What is the connection between contemplation and action? Is there ever such a thing as a wrong answer to a spiritual question? How do we care about the brutality in the world while not becoming overwhelmed by it? By engaging in this lively discourse, readers will gain a steady sense of how to dwell more deeply within--and even to love--this despairing and radiant world.
