Mansfield park or Jane Eyre. Power and privilege vs the autonomy of the individual. Great stuff!

Take Your Child to the Library Day is February 7. Today’s spotlight? The East Hartford Library in CT is hosting Bubblemania with Bubble Artist Casey Carle. Check their website for details - your child might end up inside a bubble! #libraries #TakeYourChildtotheLibraryDay

Take Your Child to the Library day is nationally celebrated on February 7. Today’s spotlight? Andover Public Library in Ohio is hosting β€œYeti” themed activities. Jealous of anyone who lives there!. #libraries #takeyourchildtothelibraryday

Today’s library love? Trick or treating at the library! Impressed that not too many of the costumes were branded. My favorite costume of all time is still the child who dressed up as a library - trickier than you might think! #libraries

Today’s library love was having great conversations with multiple patrons who have been coming in for years. So honored that you’ve shared your lives with us! And read so many books!!! Yeah, in our fast paced society, very jealous of all the books everyone somehow finds time to read. #libraries

This week’s library love? A grandmother. β€œMy grandchild loves Wonderbooks.” Wonderbooks/Vox are a book with a speaker in the front so you can read and hear at the same time. Genius for growing a reader. #libraries #audiobooks

The ics file is downloading as a .ics.html which does not go to my calendar… as if you don’t have enough to do so don’t worry if it isn’t easily fixable :)

Today at the library, an in depth discussion of how best to peel back the Tracing sticker on cricut vinyl peels. 45 degrees, fold over fold, or a combination. It was both etymological and hagiographical in nature. Take that, AI! #libraries

Here’s to Baker and Taylor, a book supply company for libraries that, in better days, supported the work of libraries in their daily business and through charitable endeavors. We will miss your famous cats, your dedicated staff, but not the business decisions that ended your long run. #libraries

'He is such an awful man': Why readers are wrong about Mr Darcy Mostly miserable and even "unforgivably cruel", Jane Austen's famous romantic hero is not what he seems, writes the author Sebastian Faulks, in an exclusive extract.

I would appreciate it if commentators didn’t tell me what to think about Jane Austen. I can do that myself. It’s called reading. www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

25 years is the official definition of both historical fiction and a classic book!

Crocheted book jacket

I love my coworker so much. I told her last night I lusted after a book sleeve because I hate creasing paperbacks, and this was on my desk this morning. It even fits the book I am reading (Chester cracks the code). #crochet #librarylove

Today’s library love? A patron offered to carry a very unwieldy box of summer flyers to their school so we wouldn’t have to. I hope they open the box and peek at our summer events. Fact: when the schools shut down for the summer, your public library carries the literacy banner.

Today’s library love? Interviewing a teen volunteer who said how much she loves the library. The library is where you find your people! #libraries

Today the library was great because every time someone came in, and we said hello, everyone looked especially happy. Not sure why. Maybe the grey weather, maybe just the face that everyone’s welcome at the library. Regardless… we were happy to see you, too!

Today’s library love? Seeing people visit twice in one day, once for books, once for LEGO fun. Find your people at the library :)

Donald Trump's war on Christmas After years of railing against what he perceived as attacks on the holiday, Trump's policies may end up doing more to upend the celebration than any cultural shift.

As I prepurchase books and gifts so I can be sure to afford them. And as on location Hallmark movies may be tariffed. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Collections: Four Freedoms Rockwell's vivid interpretations of Roosevelt's Four Freedoms, used for the most successful war bond drive in US history.

Saw these in the antiques roadshow and was inspired. www.nrm.org/2012/10/coll... guess Norman Rockwell was too.

That’s not toxic. It’s completely rational and you should just buy and borrow more books. Forever!

Today’s reason to love libraries? Seeing the parade of designer aka covered in unicorns and dinosaurs raincoats as everyone had the genius idea of visiting the library on a rainy day. Thanks for the fashion show folks! #libraries
