I received a great email from Rahat, who sent me the Turkmen translation of Libraries Are For Everyone. I cannot even begin to express how excited I still become when someone reaches out and shares a part of themselves. It’s the best.
Thank you so very much Rahat!!!!!

I cannot even begin to express how blown away I am about how many people have come together to help me create more signs. It’s been amazing. Thank you Thiện Cao and Melissa!!!
I am absolutely thrilled that Claudia, a Youth Services Librarian at Homer Public Library was able to obtain a Sugs’tun translation from the wonderful Sally Ash. Sugs’tun is the language spoken by the Sugpiaq people of coastal Alaska. Thank you so very much Sally and Claudia!!!
Claudia Depkin from Haverstraw King’s Daughters Public Library contacted me with a request: might I create a Spanish version of my My Mask Protects My Community designs? Why yes, yes I might.
