@anniethebook.bsky.socialWhenever I run my CKO numbers for the popular collection and see a great book I picked with no check outs, I really want to create a "Read This Book, You Cowards" shelf. Maybe daring our students will get these books to move.
@ydnam.bsky.socialOmg another 6th grader told me "this library is like my HEAVEN" because of all the Manga.

@margerybayne.bsky.socialSome of the coolest library stairs I've seen. We need to get them at my library.

@anniethebook.bsky.socialJust confirmed for a coworker that a student who walked past us did, in fact, meow into their phone.
@juliegoldberg.bsky.socialI thought I'd left students crying over research papers behind in my high school career, but today, a grad student came into my office fighting back tears (losing the fight moments later) and left smiling & confident 45 minutes later! It's my favorite part of the job! (Not the crying!) #LibraryLife

The Library Game Kickstarter is now live!
It's is a rummy-like card game featuring wild, helpful library staff and rule-breaking problem patrons. I've been play testing it with friends for a while, and it's a lot of fun.

@timmaidment.comToday, in my quarterly performance conversation I was asked for what I'd like to record as something to be proud of. I quoted Granny Weatherwax. "I Aten't Dead" There was a smile and nod in response. I love working in libraries #gnuterrypratchett #librarylife
