Remember the posters of celebrities reading that hung in elementary school libraries?
@Beyonce is putting her own spin on it!
She was spotted at the @BRKLYNLibrary shelves after an exhibit honoring JAY-Z.
We're so excited to see that celebrities still think it's cool to read!

We can all agree that #books are amazing and magical, right? Sometimes #libraries have to take books out of their collection - but that means #freebooks for you! Stop by the CravenCC library to browse our free book display. Read them, use them for crafts or decor or props- enjoy!

Being a #librarian in 2023 has been difficult. We're all very thankful when those with a public platform use it to help spread the message of #IntellectualFreedom. @BarackObama has done well to highlight *why* the #FreedomToRead is so important.

To quote Jon Snow, "Inventory is coming. We know what's coming with it."
Something like that, at least.
Our staff is preparing for an inventory, which means scanning and recording every book on our shelves! It's an undertaking but important to collection development.
Look, we've all been there: trying to #read while #snacking and feeling shame about getting Dorito dust all over the book pages. #LibbyApp has you covered, though - download an audiobook (for free!) and snack without shame! ππ₯€ππ§

As our assistant librarian just said to our financial office, "Happy Fiscal New Year!" To all NC state employees (and anyone else who chooses to celebrate), we hope your budgets are passed quickly :) π€π²π°οΈπΈπ΅

Your CravenCC library team is back from #ALAAC23 - and it was a blast! From hearing @judyblume to poster presentations to Becky meeting her favorite author (@darcyauthor), it was a whirlwind! (Not to mention canceled flights and getting stuck in Chicago...)
If you're even slightly tempted to replicate this situation, DON'T. The CravenCC Library has *free* bookmarks - and we'll even take suggestions about designs to offer!
Please don't disrespect books or food in this way.
