Here are 14 things I thought were worth sharing:
Picture
  1. Happy Public Domain Month! Here is all the content that entered the public domain on January 1, 2025. Have fun figuring out how you can creatively play around with it!
  2. Here are the most-read articles on Wikipedia and on JSTOR last year. I am fascinated by what fascinates others!
  3. Here is some cool stuff for our math teachers!
  4. See if you can connect two unrelated people using this new tool!
  5. There is so much to discover about what makes some of the “great art” we all know!
  6. 77 Facts that blew the minds of science staffers at the Atlantic last year.
  7. Many things went right in the US last year, as well as around the world!
  8. I was lucky enough to meet librarian Amanda Jones last year at an event in Brooklyn and join the ranks of those who support her as she battles the book-banning forces at work in our country.
  9. More recent proof that libraries are good for you!
  10. A bird's eye view of the history of mankind!
  11. Here are 50 of the biggest literary stories of 2024 (from LitHub) and the 20 best podcasts of 2024 (according to The Atlantic).
  12. American History TV is always there when you want or need it. A goldmine!
  13. An interesting newsletter for book lovers!
  14. Zora Neale Hurston now has her very own American Experience show on PBS!
