Librarian. Dog lover. I mostly tweet about libraries and dogs. Okay, mostly dogs. She/her/hers.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

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.

@lysbethpage Man, fuck them. They have no idea what they're missing

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

@lysbethpage Keep thinking, but only because Pinky would be hard to pull off. But if you think you can, go for it!

You're darn tootin' 📚

hot girls grew up doing the summer reading challenges at their local public library

Oh, no. I was nine when I read it too. This book simultaneously WRECKED me and taught me about grief and love.

9-yr-old son: It’s called WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. It’s about this boy and his two red dogs. It’s a fun story! I have two chapters left. Don’t tell me how it ends!

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

Almost as good as the @Wienermobile! (I said almost, nothing tops the Wienermobile!)

[Fake Library Statistics @FakeLibStats]

24% of librarians wanted to live in Richard Scarry's Busytown as a child; 75% still want to drive a pickle car

You aren't a real librarian until you've been shushed by a patron

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

Exactly. 😍

Thanks to the bans of my books, I also bought my mom a house AND 2 cars and paid with cash. Thanks book banners 😂 #BannedBooksWeek

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

Happy #BannedBooksWeek! I remember the time a Texas school district banned The Hate U Give, and I sold tens of thousands of copies in a week in that same district.

Keeping banning my books. I have a second home to buy 😂

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

@lysbethpage I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 💙💜💗

dolly parton didn’t tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen and pour herself a cup of ambition just for you to refuse to take the covid vaccine that she helped fund

[Andy Campbell @AndyBCampbell]

You see, the poor kids may become addicted to food if we feed them

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

Seriously!

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

Completely fucking unacceptable.

[Wisconsin Democrats @WisDems]

This decision by the Waukesha School Board is a vile attack on our children—especially targeting children of color, who experience poverty at a disproportionately higher rate. No matter their family income, it’s unacceptable for any student to go hungry at school.

[Rachael P. @librarian4real]

#Waukesha making me embarrassed to be a Wisconsinite. Fucking ridiculous.

[Amy Lynn🐇💀 @AmyLynnStL]

Is this a fucking joke? GOP school board in Waukesha County, WI have opted out of federally funded free and reduced lunches for students saying that it will make them "spoiled". So many families depend on this! This is complete bullshit!
