Welcome to Hennepin County Library, where insurance, electricity, football, and antiques are top of mind! *wink*
This 1970s graphic covers one side of a large mailing envelope and was found in the Hennepin County Library Communications Records. This collection contains brochures, booklists, flyers, reports, posters, strategic plans, event and program calendars and other publicity documents from the library's Communications Department, from 1952-2022. The purpose of the envelope is unknown, as is the designer "SJ."
Edit 12/27/23: Thanks to an HCL retiree (and newsletter reader), SJ has been identified as Sheila Jorgenson, who worked on and off for both Minneapolis Public and Hennepin County Libraries in the publicity departments and as a librarian from the 1960s through 1990s.

Deity Diaries
11/11/23 8:27 p.m.
It's been maybe a month or two since I made the switch form worshipping Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Hermes to just worshipping Aphrodite and I wish I'd written down when that was exactly. I want to keep track of these things more, especially since I have time blindness. (This legit could have happened two weeks ago idk.) But here we are.
So, I reconfigured my altar. Stripped it down, threw out the food offerings, put away the rest, said goodbye to all other deities, gave them the run down of what was happening, reminded myself that this is only temporary. I wrote Athena a heartfelt letter as she was my main deity and really my introduction into the Greek pantheon all the way back in 6th grade World History class. I cried a bit but was really excited to start this new chapter and really focus my practice so I had enough energy for everyone. I just want to be the best worshipper I can, eventually becoming a devotee.
Well, a few weeks later, turns out I still barely have enough energy for one deity. My memory is shit so I have to go back and reread and recheck everything before I do it. All of my sources are online which I didn't think threw before I "quit" social media. Turns out it's hard to cut down on screen time when your screens have all your information on it.
Between my multiple colds and TikTok withdrawals, (world's cringiest and embarrassing phrase) I haven't done much besides assemble 75% of my altar and stare at the other 25% then ignore it. As I'm writing this I'm only just now realizing that I didn't plan ahead very well, kinda setting myself up for failure. If I had laid out everything I needed to do on paper before getting started, I wouldn't feel like such a failure. I wouldn't be floundering so much.
Since I can't afford a ton of books, (and my booklist is all stored in my TikTok favorites, ugh) I have to spend hours hand writing and/or printing the resources out, organize them, and make them cute (Aphrodite worshipper, duh). All before I even make a formal offering. Ugh this is so exhausting. I'm losing touch with the joy and excitement of research and learning and practicing this faith and craft.
In my own defense, I've been stuck in the same loop for months because I keep losing the list of prayers, spells, and hymns I've compiled over the last 3 years. Either from lack of organization, online sources getting deleted, having too many servers, or being slowed down from not being able to find anything quick enough for my ADHD brain.
It's been super discouraging, tbh. I can't even think of a single spell or prayer to say over my coffee in the morning, the same coffee I've drank for 2 years? And all the research I've done on Aphrodite specifically escapes me the moment I stand in front of her altar? That took me weeks to set up because I couldn't remember if there is any specific ritual done before setting up a new altar? Just talking about this makes me wanna take a nap.
I'm not giving up, though, just frustrated. I know there's a lesson in all this, I just have to be willing to learn it. A well-organized grimoire is a must for me, especially since I have decided not to buy books or return to the hellish rabbit hole that is social media. I have to keep reminding myself:
You're not lazy, you're just unprepared.
You're not lazy, you're just unprepared.
You're not lazy, you're just unprepared.
I'm not lazy, I'm just unprepared.

One Year Later, May’s Booklist
Hurray! It’s been a year since the book club first started. Time really does fly. And why not celebrate this birthday by looking back on some of the books we’ve read together? This month’s book list is made up of novels by author’s whose works we read throughout the past year. Let’s revisit some old favourites, shall we?
In May 2020, when the world felt like it was going to end and so many of us had more time than we could spend, this book club read its first book. Neil Gaiman’s, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, kept us occupied during that frightening time. So our first pick for this list is:
Stardust, by Neil Gaiman:
Life moves at a leisurely pace in the tiny town of Wall—named after the imposing stone barrier which separates the town from a grassy meadow. Here, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and for the coveted prize of her hand, Tristran vows to retrieve a fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends him over the ancient wall and into a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining...
June was when many of our members first joined us (hey Ann, hey Rey, hey Lani! love ya!). Together we read The Starless Sea, a book that enchanted some, and frustrated others. Now we take a look at Morgenstern’s other novel:
The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern:
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
In August, when many of us still couldn’t leave our houses, we read A Gentleman in Moscow and met Count Alexander, a man under house arrest. He taught us a lot about finding beauty and purpose, even when everything seems hopeless. In this list, we take another trip into the wonderful imagination of Amor Towles:
Rules of Civility, by Amor Towles:
On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar with her boardinghouse roommate stretching three dollars as far as it will go when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker with royal blue eyes and a tempered smile, happens to sit at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a yearlong journey from a Wall Street secretarial pool toward the upper echelons of New York society and the executive suites of Condé Nast—rarefied environs where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.
Wooed in turn by a shy, principled multi-millionaire, and an irrepressible Upper East Side ne'er-do-well, befriended by a single-minded widow who is ahead of her time, and challenged by an imperious mentor, Katey experiences firsthand the poise secured by wealth and station and the failed aspirations that reside just below the surface. Even as she waits for circumstances to bring Tinker back into her life, she begins to realize how our most promising choices inevitably lay the groundwork for our regrets.
In November, while I was procrastinating studying for my entrance exam, we embarked on a whirlwind journey that unfolded over twenty years. Journey Under the Midnight Sun was a story that started with one murder, then spiralled into a world of crime and deception. Now we take a lot at another one of Higashino’s novels:
The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, by Keigo Higashino:
When three delinquents hole up in an abandoned general store after their most recent robbery, to their great surprise, a letter drops through the mail slot in the store's shutter. This seemingly simple request for advice sets the trio on a journey of discovery as, over the course of a single night, they step into the role of the kindhearted former shopkeeper who devoted his waning years to offering thoughtful counsel to his correspondents. Through the lens of time, they share insight with those seeking guidance, and by morning, none of their lives will ever be the same.
In February, we read This is How You Lose the Time War, a book that led to our most lively and active discussion yet. It was then we welcomed many new voices into our book club, and we’re very happy to have them. Whether you loved the novel or just felt confused, I think we can all agree that it was something unique and different. Now, we take a look at another of Gladstone’s sci-fi books:
Empress of Forever, by Max Gladstone
A wildly successful innovator to rival Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, Vivian Liao is prone to radical thinking, quick decision-making, and reckless action. On the eve of her greatest achievement, she tries to outrun people who are trying to steal her success.
In the chilly darkness of a Boston server farm, Viv sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying instant later, Vivian Liao is catapulted through space and time to a far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than she could ever imagine.
The end of time is ruled by an ancient, powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single thought. Rebellion is literally impossible to consider--until Vivian Liao arrives. Trapped between the Pride―a ravening horde of sentient machines―and a fanatical sect of warrior monks who call themselves the Mirrorfaith, Viv must rally a strange group of allies to confront the Empress and find a way back to the world and life she left behind.

I'm white, can I be proud of my culture?
Hi there,
Thank you for your question. There is a difference in being prideful of your racial identity (which is tied to white supremacy) and being prideful of your culture (Polish, Greek, Italian, etc.). According to Psychology Today, “Ethnicity and culture are good things that as they are but by a group for the well-being of that group, but not race, which is defined by the dominant culture and imposed upon non-dominant groups.” For more information, you can refer to this link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/culturally-speaking/202006/what-is-whiteness%3famp
One of the biggest struggles that we are facing today is racial justice, and it is difficult for white people to be positive about being white because we live in a culture based on white supremacy. You should be proud of your culture without asserting that you are superior to others or oppressing people of color.
Some steps that you can take to move towards developing a positive white identity is to:
1. Do research on your country’s racist history. Many of us were taught misleading history filled with lies. We must study history from the perspective of people of color. We have seen films and read stories of a "white savior" who provided help to people of color. This is known as the “White Savior Complex,” which is a phrase referring to a white person who acts to help non-white people in a self-serving manner. This is problematic because it adds to the idea that parts of the world live in poverty, are vulnerable, and need our saving, which is simply not true. We need to stop letting this kind of narrative influence how we see and treat non-white people.

http://tupress.temple.edu/uploads/book/excerpt/2263_ch1.pdf
https://daily.jstor.org/whitewashing-american-history/
2. Be an accountable ally to people of color. Learn from people of color to develop a less white-centered perspective of the world. Many white people tend to deny or minimize the oppression experienced by people of color, and we must try to listen and understand what they go through.

https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-become-an-ally-to-the-black-community-5072991
3. Take responsibility for your own racial identity journey. Understand how your skin color has impacted your life, family, community, and country. Seek to dismantle the racism and white superiority that has been internalized for far too long. According to research paper, “Racism and Mental Health: the African American Experience,” internalized racism is defined as, “the acceptance, by marginalized racial racial populations, of the negative societal beliefs and stereotypes about themselves” (pg. 255). People of color may accept and absorb these negative stereotypes, which causes self-hatred and self-stereotyping.

Remember to be proud of who you are as well as understand your white privilege. Do research and listen to the experiences of others. I hope this helps!
Best,
Jennie

Early reviews for Because Internet
My book about internet language is starting to appear in reviews and on recommended summer reading lists!
Trade reviews:
Kirkus
"Purists will flinch at many of McCulloch’s claims for how informal online writing has benefited our language and society while internet nerds will relish her informative book."
Publisher’s Weekly (starred)
"A funny and fascinating examination of the evolution of language in the digital age."
Booklist
“An insightful analysis of language and the internet of right now, in-depth yet accessible to any internet generation.”
Recommended summer reading lists:
Wired
"Internet linguistics isn't just a study of the latest cool memes," McCulloch writes, "it's a deeper look into day-to-day language than we've ever been able to see. It brings new insight into classic linguistic questions like, how do new words catch on? When did people start saying this? Where do people say that?" You'll be fascinated to see how she answers them."
Elle
“Sometimes it seems like the internet is a seething brew of ugliness and misery. So it's nice to remember that, as well as the lawless drugery, there are complex human systems that, intentional or not, create something totally new. Internet linguist (damn!) Gretchen McCulloch explores the ever-changing language of online.”
Esquire
“Ever wondered how terms like “on brand” make their way into Merriam Webster, or why you prefer “lol” to “LOL”? In prose at once scholarly and user-friendly, McCulloch unpacks the evolution of language in the digital age, providing a comprehensive survey of everything from the secret language of emojis to the appeal of animal memes.”
Real Simple
“Gretchen McCulloch's Because Internet is not your English teacher's grammar guide-not even close. Self-described internet linguist McCulloch traces how the web has changed the way we communicate—whether through emoji, lowercase letters, or cat memes—and makes a compelling, entertaining argument that this change is good for the English language as a whole.”
Full reviews:
Science Magazine
“A compelling narrative rich with examples from her own online activities, a healthy dose of humor, and plenty of cat memes… the breadth of topics covered—from conversation analysis to meme culture to the development of texting as we now know it—makes this book useful, engaging, and enjoyable.”
Because Internet is coming out on July 23 and you can preorder it now!

Pride Booklists
On June 22, 1991, the Minneapolis Public Library began a long tradition of staffing a booth at Twin Cities Pride. Included at the booth were booklists created especially for the celebration. Each year, a new list was created. The booklists pictured here range from 1994 to 1998.
The library's first appearance at Pride was summed up in the 1991 Minneapolis Public Library Official Bulletin:
Ten staff members volunteered to staff the Library booth at the Gay Pride Fest held Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23, at Loring Park. Nancy Kweik, History, served as coordinator for the booth, and did a lot of extra work in checking and ordering titles for a booklist handout, going to bookstores to obtain copies of books for display, arranging for [a] tent to shelter the booth, and transporting display materials between the Library and Loring Park.... In the two days of the festival, we received 54 library card applications and distributed informational brochures and booklists to several hundred people. Many attendees expressed appreciation to the Library for its presence at the festival. In Nancy Kweik's words, "Of all the events in which I have participated as an MPLIC booth volunteer, I have never seen a more sincere and enthusiastic welcome for us as an institution." Thank you to all the staff members whose efforts made this possible.
Pride booklists from the Hennepin County Library Archives. Celebrate Pride in 2021 with online events and booklists from the library.

“I don’t sing. Ever.”
35 – Sudden
She hates the sudden departures the most, when he leaves on short notice, because those are the ones where the mask slips and he shows just how much he truly hates to leave.
36 – Stop
She feels the whole tower stop and stare when Thor subtly and without fanfare slips her a jewelry box at breakfast one morning.
37 – Time
To Thor, the time they have been given to share feels like a single grain of sand in the hourglass of time.
38 – Wash
She lets the rain heralding his arrival wash away any fears or doubts that may have arisen in his absence.
39 – Torn
They are both torn; he between Asgard and Midgard, and she between the world she knows and the man she loves.
40 – History
He enjoys regaling her with tales of the histories of the realms.
41 – Power
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
“Mortals are surprisingly wise creatures.”
42 – Bother
“You could never be a bother Thor.”
43 – God
Thor insists that ‘God’ is simply a title, much the same as ‘Doctor’ is on Earth.
44 – Wall
He somehow manages to break down every wall she’s ever built around her heart.
45 – Naked
“Let’s just spend the day naked.”
46 – Drive
It’s Jane’s idea to teach him how to drive.
47 – Harm
“No harm shall befall you so long as I still take breath.”
48 – Precious
She swears her son will be the most precious thing she ever makes.
49 – Hunger
A god’s hunger is not easily sated, but Jane always seems to manage.
50 – Believe
As a child, she never believed in anything and refused to go to church with her parents; these days, it’s hard not to believe in all the possibilities.

Selected one of 2018's Best Business and Leadership Books by Amazon!
A searing exposé of the collusion between central bankers as they control global markets and dictate economic policy.
ON CSPAN-BOOKTV.
The financial crisis unleashed a chain reaction that turbo-boosted central bankers' influence and triggered a massive shift in the world order. Central banks overstepped the boundaries of their mandates. They are directing the flow of money to catapult markets without any checks or balances. Meanwhile, the open door between private and central banking ensures endless manipulation upon a backdrop of government support. AVAILABLE at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or IndieBound.
COMPANION SONG TO COLLUSION - YOU AND ME BY DANNY McGAW HERE.
From Publishers Weekly
This unflinching, troubling exposé from Prins (All the Presidents’ Bankers), a journalist and former banker at Lehman Brothers, forecasts impending doom for the global economy—all at the hands of central bankers. ..The book’s most chilling section consists of Prins’s predictions of what awaits a world economy threatened by rising income inequality and an elite class bent on preserving its dominance: a bigger collapse than the 2008 crisis.
From Kirkus Reviews:
Prins delivers a sharp-edged critique of the hegemony of central banks over the world's economies...."It only takes one domino to fall to wipe them all out," Prins warns in closing...A somber, important warning that's likely to cause readers to wonder about the safety of their assets, if not fear for the near-term future.
From Booklist:
Prins...zeros in on the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath. ..Prins explains “conjured-money policy” and how central banks have created an artificial money bubble and flooded markets with cheap capital, which makes economies vulnerable to massive corporate defaults and job loss. ..she examines economic practices in Brazil, Mexico, China, and the European Union and discusses Brexit. These detailed analyses are backed by reliable news sources and reports... This thoroughly researched, high-level view of central-bank operations would be interesting to those in the finance, banking, and economic fields.

We always try to be as inclusive and creative with our recs as we can possibly be, but if we’re still missing ideas or if there’s any glaring mistake feel free to add to the list or to (gently) correct us!
HAVE FUN!
