Hot take: I lose a little respect for a library when I see they are doing a program that is that wizard themed. 🙄 #LibraryLife #Library #LibraryTwitter

I hope all of you #library folks have heard about the call to invade libraries on the first Saturday of Aug by a former 80s child star to his minions. #LibraryLife #LibraryTwitter (DM me if you want the link, don't want them to find it in the search terms)

RT @vmax_14: Remembering when library-terrorist Ross Lahive hung out with this group of 'concerned parents' spouting Qanonsense & following Gemma O'Doherty around.

This is bad news for the @internetarchive and all libraries https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2023/03/27/legal-blow-internet-archive-controlled-digital-lending I hope they can overturn this. #librarytwitter

Statement: Major Decision on Libraries’ Digital Rights A Step Closer on March 20 cms.sharing_url/news/2023-02-23-statement-major-decision-on-libraries-digital-rights-a-step-closer-on-march-20 - good to see progress on this issue. Controlled Digital Lending as done by the @internetarchive is the way forward. #librarytwitter #library

I cannot get my butt in gear to plan this year's summer program. I am the only person in the entire youth department. I've already missed out on getting the magician I wanted for the kick off (and boy does that not help the vibes of me not wanting to do this)

I am feeling slightly burnt out and attempts to fix this aren't working.

Any tips you might have about how you get started or get excited are welcome.

Also, feel free to join me in the blah state here and commiserate. It all feels so futile right now, but it's my job.

I'm also feeling slightly nostalgic for the way things used to be before all of this. 🙄

Did I mention I started a new job this year? I started a new job this year 🙂#archivist #archives #librarytwitter

I just took a #library #book and tried to scan the barcode under the pump on my hand sanitizer....

If you are wondering how my #wednesday is going 🙃🤦‍♀️😄

I’d love to donate my music to any library that wants to have it, 100% pro bono. Libraries are/were foundational to my upbringing, and I would be honored to have my work part of them.

Hiya #climatechange #librarytwitter here is some recommended books, courtesy of yours truly (a few pre-publication but anticipated to be great additions). Aiming to cover wide range of perspectives. Feeling need to bolster the pre-teen and teen reading https://www.nailsworthcan.org/reading-list-1

The book 'Dandelion' by Don Freeman has a pretty terrible moral.

Dude went out & got his hair done, nails done, got a fresh new outfit, & even brought his friend flowers & his friends were like 'we don't even know you', close the door in his face. Then he gets stuck in the rain. Only after he's been drenched they are like hey there you are, we've been waiting forever for you, oh btw there was this goofy ass lion here earlier.

Forget that, be yourself

Don't believe me, check out the video: https://youtu.be/ZrWPayAIqv0

Help #LibraryTwitter #KidLit #childrensbook , I can't find a book that I added to the library where I work! A few years ago I got a non-fic #IndigenousPeoples kids book that had info about one nation in one half & you flipped it over & it was info about another nation.

Can't remember the title or author or even which nations were discussed. I checked on the shelves & it's not where it should be. I searched the catalog using subject terms and it didn't come up. Tried a google search and an Amazon search and could not locate it! I want to see if they've made any more in the series and to make sure it is still available for checkout. I feel like I'm gaslighting myself because I know it exists!

Just took myself on a carpet tour of the Mitchell Library. Iconic? Inglorious? You decide... I 💛 Glasgow's public libraries! 😍

"people don't use libraries anymore"

Tell that to the 87 holds on 59 copies of #LessonsInChemistry by Bonnie Garmus in my county's small library system.

#GraphicNovels make great #memoirs

It is an incredible way to walk in someone else's shoes and experience something you never could.

Some of my favorites are: #Persepolis , #FunHome , and #Ducks (which I just finished)
