Moni Barrette-Comics Librarian

Planning a new social media series where I read comics from my enormous TBR backlog, many of which were gifted by friends, and talk about them. I’ll be tagging creators and publishers, hope you’ll follow along!

Watching modern Reading Rainbow. The library representation with @mychal3ts.bsky.social is making my veteran librarian heart full. ❤️🥹

It’s a modern librarian’s job to learn at least a little about manga.

As people reevaluate their streaming services, I’ve seen a lot of love for free access through public libraries. As a librarian: Please remember this when it’s time to support your library-providing streaming access depends on continued funding for libraries!

Help me wish my grandpa a happy 100th(!!) birthday! I like to ask him what the dinosaurs were like.

Who knew the thesaurus would be my best friend? #writerslife

CANDY CORN SEASON!! Love it or not? 👇🏻

How he smiles after mom chases away kids who keep throwing rocks at him. 🐶

She’s going after teachers and nurses too, and that’s about the extent so far.

A content creator I followed on another app is outing individuals who posted about recent events.
2 of the “random” folks she shared full info about are library workers. Any excuse to come after us.

This news cycle and this timeline are both pretty unbearable.

“Reading is resistance, so go read some comics.”
Wise words from someone I respect a lot, @gamalhennessy.bsky.social

Think I’m just going to hide from my family and read comics tonight.

I wonder if Gavin’s ass gets tired from sitting on both sides of the fence and having to lean every time the wind blows a new direction.

“No matter what someone’s political affiliation is, they don’t deserve to get taken out like that.”
True, and neither do: kids at schools, immigrants, marginalized people, criminals without due process…

Dogs are just slightly less nihilistic toddlers that never grow up. Prove me wrong.

What in the patriarchy?! 🤢

This is abhorrent.

I turned in my manuscript! 20 years of advice, tea, & inspiration in 200 pages.

Thanks to my library friends who contributed!

Looking forward to sharing “Enhance Your Library, Enhance Your Wellbeing: How to Fight Burnout and Reclaim Library Joy” in 2026!

Not a ton unfortunately but I’d be happy to chat or email about some ideas!

An AI chatbot pushed a teen to kill himself, a lawsuit against its creator alleges A Florida mother is suing a tech company over an AI chatbot that she says pushed her son to kill himself.

As a human this hurts.
As a mom who knows her kids’ school district purchased a new AI program for their use, it’s devastating.

Thanks @dabaum.bsky.social & hi @schweizercomics.bsky.social here to help!

Oh hai I turned in my almost final draft for review. Meaning I am done with the active writing entirely.

yes please

I haven’t!

I have definitely reached out but the convos haven’t progressed. Would love it though!

When I said I like old school, I didn’t mean “bring back the plague.” First confirmed case here in California.

Writing a book that spills the tea from 20 years in library work has been quite the emotional rollercoaster.

The Spirit Halloween stores are opening! I love Christmas in August.
