I am a Librarian!

Ok, this is just funny.

I've had SO MANY emails from other distributors today...like, I get it, but it also feels very flies-on-a-carcass.

And libraries!

I love my job.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Happy #newbooksday, to all who celebrate! 🥳

An abandoned house, with the woods growing up around it.

Some highlights from this weekend's wandering.

Taking the kids to see where their Opa grew up, where his side of the family is buried, and all the places I remember visiting while growing up. #memories #memorylane #family

🎶 Saw Halestorm, Lindsey Stirling, and Apocalyptica in concert last night! 🎶

One of the great perks of being a librarian...I can generally reserve my home bookshelves for favorites and collectibles! :)

And the insane arrogance of thinking you can shelter your child from anything and everything you disagree with! I've had more difficult conversations with my kids over things they heard at school or on the playground than anything we read in a book.

This is ridiculous. Book banning frustrates me as a library professional, but it absolutely INFURIATES me as a parent. Either you are capable of parenting your child, which includes paying attention to the content they are consuming, or you are not. I can manage my own kids, ty! 🧵

Anyone? Or ask why they don't just suspend the rules like they did for approving appointees?

😂😂😂😳

Who the fuck is relaxed spending time with <undefined> people?? 😳

Listen up!

Sure didn't!
@marisakabas.bsky.social Know anyone who might be interested in spreading this story? I found one article in the Rapid City Journal, and looks like it might be mentioned in a big article from the WaPo...

@librarianjones.com is doing amazing work. Always excited to see her being recognized for it, especially outside library-world!

Refreshing thread...

We have a few of "specific and highly active" users...thankfully their tastes mostly balance out, and they are cool with ILL.
