Everyone should know that this animal exists. It's a Viscacha.

The Viscacha is known for always looking sad, disappointed, and needing a nap. They are my new spirit animal.

@HannahLNYC So cute!

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@DrKarrSchmidt @NewberryLibrary I feel a bit of nostalgia seeing this!

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@yangyang_cheng @BjoernPenning Oh my gosh! I remember seeing a 19th-century book in the special collections at UChicago (in English) about a girl who plays with matches and catches on fire. The cats cry at the end. This must have been a thing!

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@DrKarrSchmidt @NewberryLibrary Did you make it?

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@DrKarrSchmidt I’m just reminded of the bee clasp a bit! Love to see more fancy clasps!

Since we're off-campus, it can be harder to connect with colleagues at other UCLA libraries. Hope other librarians visit us, too!

[Clark Library @ClarkLibUCLA]

The @uclalawlibrary joined us yesterday for a tour of the library & the grounds! Also on view were some legal-adjacent items: a 1676 pamphlet about two servants convicted of murder & a 2011 artist book dealing with Japanese pension fraud.

@ScreenKitty You have really started me on a capybara-in-onsen kick.

@kateefly @geriatricgretch My colleague kindly edited a video with me and had to listen to my voice on repeat for hours! Very embarrassing. It was bad enough recording it. And I can say how much I hated recording myself for virtual choirs and listening to myself again and again!

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

Take a #virtual tour @ClarkLibUCLA! Grateful to my wonderful colleagues, who made this possible.

[Clark Library @ClarkLibUCLA]

Unable to visit us for a tour of the Clark Library in person? Then join us on this guided video tour of the Library’s historical interior & learn about its architecture, fine & decorative arts on display, & the people who contributed to its creation.

@kateefly I think Jeni’s does.

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@kateefly One of my strategies, if it tastes fine but looks weird, has been to rename creations to fit what the they look like 🤣

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@CourtneyEJacobs I'm glad I'm not alone in the challenge of figuring these things out.

[Ikumi Crocoll @kujira871]

@kateefly I am impressed by your teacup selection!
