BOOK-RELATED HIVEMIND LONGSHOT REQUEST: can anyone identify this children's book of the 1970s/80s from this incomplete and possibly inaccurate synopsis?!

Pile of rusty paperclips and other rusty fasteners (plus a piece of string!) on a desk.

There are so many fun and interesting aspects to being an archivist!

Rusty paperclip removal is not one of them 😬

On which note, I was highly entertained by this post on our local history Facebook group today. (NB I am not suggesting Cornwall is in 'England'.)

Three books about Cornish language on a white background. At the top of the photo is 'The Cornish Language Around Us' by Richard Gendall which has green and orange illustrations on the cover. At the bottom left is 'Cornish For Beginners' by P.A.S. Pool which has a blue cover. At the bottom right is 'Notes on Spoken Cornish' by Rod Lyon and John Pengilly which has an off-white cover and an illustration of a maritime scene with boats and fishermen.

Two large black and white photos and a number of smaller colour photos of Nick Darke arranged on a shelf, overlapping each other.

a cavapoo with long hair in various shades of gray sits and poses for the camera. his mouth is open and his pink tongue sticks out, his curly hair situated every which way on the top of his head. text on the image says, "the dog i dropped off."

a photo of the cavapoo with text that reads, "the dog i picked up." the pup's luscious fur has been trimmed all the way down, leaving him with a skinny body, but fluffy ears and tail. the pup looks at the camera with an uncanny human expression of disgust. he looks very angry about his new hairdo.

This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)

I know that my US library friends and colleagues are in need of kindness and bravery in ways that are unimaginable. I have 4 spaces left on this course - if you are a US librarian who can benefit from this get in touch before Wednesday and I can offer a free space to up to 4 of you.

I don't actually know whether non-US librarians are invited to comment on this or not because these procedures are obscure as flip to me, but I've written in. #critcat 📚

"....a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea."

A quote that has more resonance with me with every year that passes.

(3/3)

"... Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice...."

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz I wanted to share this quote from Prime Levi:

"Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it....
