Hey, library friends! I just moved to the lead librarian role for my team, and now we’re down a 29-hour librarian. If you know anyone in the greater Milwaukee area who might be interested,can you please share our job posting? https://t.co/5HSykrx13e…

Can you tell we’ve hosted TSwift events at the library, lately?

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Right as I sent that tweet 4 kids walked in 😅

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

WELP. Planned a Switch + board gaming program that no one has showed up to. Guess I’ll give it until 1:30 and then pack it up.

Tonight, children in the Midwest will go through a sacred rite of passage: trick or treating when no one can see your costume under your coat.

Hi y’all! I’m back! I’m working part time in the youth services department at a library in suburban Milwaukee. Also back to #WeekendLibrarian-ing once a month!

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Hi, library friends! I’m back in Wisconsin and getting settled!

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Led my last book club tonight. ☹️

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

@ProfShoff I saw this book on order at my library and thought it might be of interest to you! https://t.co/jCDr8RC6YC

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Perfection.

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

@NutriaAtomica Haha yeah not the best timing to move in Jan/Feb, but that’s just how things fell

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Soooo I did quit my job! My last day at my library is September 29. Going to do the Mom thing for several months before we move back to the Midwest.

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Just might quit my job next week 🙃

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

I do not want to go back to work tomorrow. At all.

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Today has been an absolute shitshow but at least we have sweet dog groomers who send home puppy books for our newborn at our dog's appointment.

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

My baby is one week old today! We had a great first Father's Day with Daddy and Grandpa. Here's my husband reading to our little man.

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

@teacher2library I still have two more days of work 🥲
And today was absolutely BONKERS at PSM. 🥴

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

I did my last storytime until the fall last week.

We're officially on baby watch now. My OB today assessed me and basically baby could come at any time now. She does not think I'll make it to my due date (6/11).

[Jess Madey (she/her) @MadeyReads]

Last #SundayLibrarian shift until September! Fingers crossed this baby makes their appearance on or before June 11.

Sitting in a 90 minute meeting for summer reading. 😮‍💨 Feels especially tedious since my maternity leave starts two days before our big kickoff party.
