Shout out to those who facilitate Interlibrary loans in academic libraries. I request a book and it shows up on a shelf from some far-flung place. What magic!

Y'all are the best. Really, you are.

A 4 panel comic depicting Dean Winchester and Castiel from supernatural. The first panel shows them sitting at a table, just finishing eating a birthday apple pie. Cas asks if Dean wants to know his birthday present, and Dean answers yes please. Over the next two panels, cas explains how the presents 46 birthday kisses with a multiplier of the years Dean spent on other planes of existence (heaven, purgatory, hell). Cas explains that it will take a while, it may take all night if he’s honest. Dean is growing increasingly more flustered. The final panel is Dean holding Cas hand as he runs out of the room(indicating the bedroom)

First panel:
Crowley softly smiles at Astra. "Hey, it's ok to be scared, but you don't have to worry. It was just a dream and not real.
Astra turned her head towards Crowley, tears still streaming down her face. "But Dad, it was Chuckie the Chicken. He tried to eat me!"

Secon panel (thinking bubble):
An image of Chuckie the Chicken, a cartoony mascot of "Chuckie's Nuggies". It looks a bit creepy.

Lowe panel:
Crowley:"Oooh. Yeah, that weird billboard chicken with teeth."
Aziraphale:"They really need to get rid of that hidious thing."

First panel:
Crowley looks softly at Astra again.
Azira nuzzles his cheek against the top of Astra's head. Astra rubs the tears away and grabs Azira's finger.
Azira:"Would you like me to bring you back to your bed and read you another good night story?"
Astra:"Hmmno..."
Azira:"Do you want to sleep here tonight?"
Astra nods.

Second panel:
Crowley and Aziraphale laid down in bed and face each other. Astra sleeps between them with her face pressed against Crowley's chest.
Crowley to Azira:"I could just burn this ugly billboard down, you know?"
Azira:"My dear, we said we try to act like normal humans and only use miracles in emergencies."
Crowley:"I will use a flamethrower then. Like a normal human."

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Just a reminder to support your local public libraries! Write letters of support. Use the library often & in many different ways. Show up to meetings.

Library staff have been begging for help, advocacy, and action for years. Please show up for libraries.
