The most important part of getting ready for a library conference, is selecting a cardigan to wear. @ReachForwardIL @IllLibraryAssoc #ILARF2023

Stevie Bell solved the case of Truly Devious, and now she’s taking her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery from 1990s England. New from @maureenjohnson, Nine Liars is on sale 12/27. The perfect cozy mystery to read this season!

Dears parents/guardians,
I understand taking your little ones to the library for a break. But the librarians are NOT babysitters and we expect you to keep an eye on your kids. Thxs

Sincerely, the almost 8 month pregnant lady cleaning up after 2 little ones who cause me havoc

Toddler ate mostly corn bread but we were able to get her to eat some sweet peas, red sweet peppers, and cucumber between bites. She hated all of the desserts though.

Happy #ElectionDay, or as libraries that are polling sites call it, "Oh I've Never Been In Here Before It's Actually Kind Of Nice" Day.

Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

You didn't think @lizzo played that antique flute on stage without practicing first, did you? She visited the Library Monday & played several of the flutes in our collection, which is the largest in the world. #LizzoAtLOC

See & hear more from her visit: https://t.co/eZiAVrAGWZ

Treatment for an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage is not abortion. Abortion intentionally kills a living child in the womb. Pro-life laws ban abortion, not necessary health care. A lot of people are misled about this because a lot of people are blurring the lines on purpose.

[Fr. Mike Palmer, CSC @FrMikeCSC]

Since I'm seeing it mentioned today: as a gentle reminder, miscarriages and treatment for ectopic pregnancies are (correctly) not classified as abortions under the law, and overturning Roe does not mean that women suffering from these two afflictions will be denied medical help.

Look, I know it seems small in the grand scheme of things, but I think one very tactile way we can show moms & dads we’re happy they’re around & that their kids are welcome is to have changing tables readily accessible in all public restrooms.

[Rebecca Gal @BexTheLibrarian]

@yockeyk Congratulations!!!

A little on covid vaccines, pregnancy, and fertility (I'm vaxxed, boosted, and 38 weeks).

It's very reasonable for women to have questions about vaccines, illness, and fertility. Women's health is chronically under studied, and scientists have squandered our trust. 1/

So far a big part of having a toddler has been convincing her that food tastes good, even food she has previously liked.

[Rebecca Gal @BexTheLibrarian]

Motherhood: having to climb into the tub with your baby so they actually sit in the tub during bath time. I guess the bubbles were too scary? Of course by the end she sobbed when we took her out of the tub.
