@mtechman @jodystillwrites My nephew, 10 yrs old, is beginning to be able to walk by himself to school... and to the local #publicLibrary. The only thing is that his parents need to ring the library on the many occasions when he forgets to go back home after a few hours reading!
The #library staff kindly tell him he's expected :)

Patron: I have two questions.
Me: I will probably have five answers.

I called it. Question about her computer had two answers, question about local radio had three. #LibraryLife #PublicLibrary

Things I cannot say: "Ma'am, this is a public library. If they're not cursing at you, and not screaming, there's not a lot we can do." #PublicLibrary #LibraryLife

@SKleefeld no guide in #Ireland, fortunately, as all parties support #libraries. As a result we have a really great #publiclibrary service, thank God. But no complacency!

Don't fight progress, it will win eventually... 😇

I got my library card today!

As I check-in a Richard Castle novel, followed by a Jessica Fletcher novel, I wonder if "Castle" will have the same longevity as "Murder, She Wrote" on #library shelves.

I’m looking for participants who are working in a public library in the UK for a short survey. This is for my MSc Library Science dissertation exploring numeracy programmes and support at UK public libraries.
Your survey responses are confidential and no identifying information will be collected. It will take about 5 minutes to complete. All responses will be really appreciated. Thank you.
Survey: https://cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_78oMWBQAf1W6iVw

I can personally recommend Bob Holmes’ book “Flavor”. Written for the layperson, it covers just about everything you’d want with regards to flavor, starting with the biological foundations of how we taste to research into artificial flavor creation as well as my favorite, hot and spicy flavors and sensations.

So, a question for #PublicLibrary Librarians:

You shelve your movies in alphabetical order. Among those movies are

2001: A Space Odyssey
3 Days to Kill
12 Angry Men

What order do you put them in?

The Alexander Crum Memorial Library (now called Thornliebank Library) in Thornliebank, just outside of Glasgow. Built in a Scots Renaissance style in 1894, it was designed by R. Rowand Anderson.

THE MEANING OF STAR TREK (New York: Doubleday, 1997) by Thomas Richards.

Last Thursday, I did a Mad Science show at the Upper Moreland Free Public Library (Willow Grove, PA). Because of the extended break between shows, I arrived pretty early. So, I spent the bonus time by taking a walk through the air conditioned library and, more importantly, perusing their section of used books for sale...

I suggested some #QueerBooks for purchase by my local #PublicLibrary. They bought them, and it is SO satisfying to see them circ’ing before I can even get to them. #ArchieBongiovanni #StoryGraph

JSY, if you complain about noise levels in the #PublicLibrary , the librarians make fun of you. If you complain about noise levels on STORYTIME DAY, we are openly derisive behind your back.

I have been in public libraries for 15 years. We are a public space, not an academic research institution. We have a specific room for "don't talk". You gotta get with the times, my friend, because you are years out of date.
