Did DIY turn into "Ahh, I have a spring in my eye!!!"? These books could help (with the DIY, not the injured eye; go see a doctor about that). vancouverisawesome.com/local…

Local (and very talented) author @HarrisonMooney has taken over the @VPL twitter account. Send him your library, and book, and life questions! Maybe some science questions too? This is your big chance, #Vancouverites.
Vancouver Public Library@VPL1 Dec 2022
The time has come to ASK ME ANYTHING. Reminder that I’m @HarrisonMooney, the author of Invisible Boy and current writer in residence, so when I say something unusually partisan, like “libraries are a public good, not a frickin Cactus Club,” I am only speaking for me
