Thank you for the incredible contributions you make to our schools and communities. 💝 </p><p>It&#x27;s a great time to watch The Neighborhood Storyteller. This short documentary follows Asmaa Rashed, a young Syrian mother and refugee, as she establishes vibrant reading circles, transforming a humble act into a powerful tool for social change. The film celebrates the importance of reading and sharing stories to find one’s voice.</p><p>Our Discussion Guide for this film also connects with &quot;Muzoon: A Syrian Refugee Speaks Out&quot; by Muzoon Al-Mellehanan with Wendy Pearlman, for an exciting film-book teaching combination. </p><p>Learn more!</p><p><a href="https://journeysinfilm.org/film/the-neighborhood-storyteller/?utm_source=LinkedIn&amp;utm_medium=Social+Media&amp;utm_id=National+Library+Week&amp;utm_content=link" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="journeysinfilm.org/film/the-neighborhood-storyteller/?utm_source=LinkedIn&amp;utm_medium=Social+Media&amp;utm_id=National+Library+Week&amp;utm_content=link"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">journeysinfilm.org/film/the-ne</span><span class="invisible">ighborhood-storyteller/?utm_source=LinkedIn&amp;utm_medium=Social+Media&amp;utm_id=National+Library+Week&amp;utm_content=link</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p><p><a href="/tags/nationallibraryweek/" rel="tag">#NationalLibraryWeek</a> <a href="/tags/libraries/" rel="tag">#Libraries</a> <a href="/tags/librians/" rel="tag">#Librians</a> <a href="/tags/schoollibrarymonth/" rel="tag">#SchoolLibraryMonth</a> <a href="/tags/education/" rel="tag">#Education</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#Reading</a> <a href="/tags/homeschooling/" rel="tag">#Homeschooling</a> <a href="/tags/syria/" rel="tag">#Syria</a> <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#Movies</a> <a href="/tags/documentary/" rel="tag">#Documentary</a> <a href="/tags/refugees/" rel="tag">#Refugees</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a></p>

<p>MOVIE REVIEW: &quot;SINNERS&quot; - IN THEATERS APRIL 18<br>&#x27;Sinners&#x27; is Ryan Coogler&#x27;s masterclass in modern, old-school horror.</p><p><a href="https://hotchka.com/sinners-review" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>hotchka.com/sinners-review</a></p><p><a href="/tags/sinners/" rel="tag">#Sinners</a> <a href="/tags/ryancoogler/" rel="tag">#RyanCoogler</a> <a href="/tags/michaelbjordan/" rel="tag">#MichaelBJordan</a> <a href="/tags/warnerbrospictures/" rel="tag">#WarnerBrosPictures</a> <a href="/tags/imax/" rel="tag">#IMAX</a> <a href="/tags/entertainment/" rel="tag">#Entertainment</a> <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#Movies</a> <a href="/tags/film/" rel="tag">#Film</a> <a href="/tags/cinema/" rel="tag">#Cinema</a></p>

<p>I found this cool <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> software called <a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a> via <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dansup</span></a></span> &#x27;s awesome FediDB website.</p><p><a href="https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&amp;registration=open" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&amp;registration=open"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedidb.com/software/neodb?vers</span><span class="invisible">ion=latest&amp;registration=open</span></a></p><p>It&#x27;s a tracking / shelf platform for <a href="/tags/tv/" rel="tag">#TV</a> / <a href="/tags/drama/" rel="tag">#drama</a>, <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#movies</a> / <a href="/tags/films/" rel="tag">#films</a>, <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a>, and <a href="/tags/games/" rel="tag">#games</a> </p><p>Automated import from <a href="/tags/goodreads/" rel="tag">#Goodreads</a> work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn&#x27;t appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.</p><p>Unfortunately, the software doesn&#x27;t support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.</p><p>Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn&#x27;t exist in the database yet?</p><p>Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.</p><p>* Method 1: You can add the details yourself</p><p>* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items</p><p>* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB&#x27;s search box and it will import it to your instance</p><p>Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a>. But Method 3 is even sweeter!</p><p>Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it&#x27;s a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don&#x27;t! I contribute to <a href="/tags/tmdb/" rel="tag">#TMDB</a> but I&#x27;m definitely not repeating the same effort in <a href="/tags/tvdb/" rel="tag">#TVDB</a>.</p><p>Secondly, there&#x27;s no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).</p><p>Check my accounts:</p><p>* Flagship server: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://neodb.social/@youronlyone/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone</span></a></span> <br>* Instance: <span class="h-card"><a href="/@youronlyone@eggplant.place/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone@eggplant.place</span></a></span> </p><p>~~Hmm… I haven&#x27;t checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest <a href="/tags/opendb/" rel="tag">#OpenDB</a> for music: <a href="/tags/musicbrainz/" rel="tag">#Musicbrainz</a> ~~</p><p>UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, <a href="/tags/podcasts/" rel="tag">#podcasts</a> .</p><p>🖖🏽🙇🏽</p>
