I spent today at Tunstall #library in #StokeOnTrent. It used to be in the same building as a swimming pool, which I thought was wonderfully eccentric.
It moved a few years ago, and is now at the top of this fantastic staircase.
We have just released the first version of
`signstar-request-signature`, which is another piece of the #Signstar puzzle.
https://crates.io/crates/signstar-request-signature/0.1.0
With this #RustLang #crate a #library and #CLI is provided for creating, reading and writing of signing requests for files.
The implementation has again been done by the awesome @wiktor

Bibliothèque Éva-Circé-Côté, Montréal, Canada
The former St-Gabriel fire station was designed by Joseph A. Mercier and built in 1891-92. Following the merger with the city of Montreal, it was decommissioned and converted into a library in 1976. At the occasion of its recent renovation, the library was renamed after journalist, author and Montreal's first professional librarian Éva Circé-Côté.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has always been a big joke. I have been in libraries for almost 30 years. The Chronicle loves writing incredibly negative articles about us repeatedly. The contempt they have for us is astonishing.

3GoodThings and The Beauty of Libraries
Today was a short day at work and that played into my #3GoodThings quite a lot, of course. Meanwhile, you know I love #libraries and today's three good stories are all #library themed! Stop by and have a look and be reminded of the good things still happening in the world every day.

It's football day in the USA, but in my case, it's also "pick up your damn holds before the library sends them back day."
