Walz: They talk about small government. Small enough to be in your bedroom, small enough to be in your exam room, small enough to be in your library telling you the things you should make decisions about.

If you think people on the internet are mean to librarians, wait til you find out how they get treated in real life by patrons, management, local government, etc, etc.

Well… they’re literally promising to burn books now.

Remember that the first books nazis burned were the ones they deemed to be corrupting youth

I’m a woman who loves hockey, of course I have to lay on the ground every other day because I’ve heard something atrocious has allegedly occurred.

Read this entire thread. For those of you who fondly remember the Scholastic book fair, know that the company has decided to bow down to the book banners. There are alternatives out there.

[Library Girl - See Pinned Tweet @jenniferlagarde]

book fairs should play in their libraries. The other day @JackieWoodson started a thread asking librarians to share book fair alternatives to @scholastic. Turns out there are lots of options. If I were working in a library now, I’d follow @BespokeLib’s lead and conduct my own…

Look, if you’ve figured out how to use a *Gale database* to access porn at school (when you have a phone in your pocket), honestly, I salute your research skills.

@ilikeautumn Good luck. Having had to do this with cats, I can't imagine a rabbit is any easier.
Also can you get pet insurance for a rabbit?

Bergy,

It’s been a pleasure to compete against you and a special honor to be your teammate over the years. Your achievements speak for themselves, but the person you are is what stands out the most. For anyone who has played with or against you, there isn’t a better example to follow. Congratulations on a remarkable career and enjoy the next chapter mon ami!

Can we stop saying ‘Greta Gerwig scores biggest opening wkend ever for female director’ and start saying Greta Gerwig scores bigger opening weekend than any man this year - and most other years too. It’s the 24th highest opening in HISTORY. It’s bigger than TOP GUN MFING MAVERICK

So all the tax payer money libraries have spent on children's ebooks and audiobooks is basically going to go to waste unless the parents are checking it out? Hoopla is NOT cheap and I wouldn't spend the money on it if a large chunk of our patrons couldn't access it.
