What Matters Now

A couple of days ago I mentioned that I would be reading a poem as part of the What Matters Now online, global event.

UPDATE: It happened, and it was fantastic!

Not only did I have a blast sharing my poem, but every single talk and performance in the program—I think there were 18 five-minute presentations in all—was compelling and inspirational.

Topics ranged from innovative programs to keep library patrons engaged during COVID to native, perennial food production in the Sahel region of Niger; Wikipedia's response to COVID to decolonizing museums; fighting against disinformation in advance of the US's upcoming presidential election to uniting the divided island of Cyprus through music; and so much more.

You can watch the talks and performances here.
