@jdwilso.bsky.socialSurvived my first week at a new job- and if I may be so bold say I thrived? Lots of info swirling in my head but already jumped into actual work I'll regularly be doing, and it felt good ^_^ #LibraryLife
@anniethebook.bsky.socialThis week at the research help desk: Mesopotamian war chariots, whiteboard markers, ADHD and codependency, hours during the break, we're here weekends!, hanging indents, article searches, drag show bans, and we are not the post office (Google Business is wrong).

@nlaglibs.bsky.socialJust need a break? How about the idea of a #library5aday?
5 minutes to yourself to read, relax & de-stress.
Try to fit in 5 a day for your #Wellbeing
Your local #NHSLibrary has some great fiction and wellbeing books.
@samhelmick.bsky.socialAwe, my career long mentor and friend accepted this incredible award on my behalf this morning.
Thank you, Iowa Library Association, for the privilege of contributing to such a sacred mission with such a wonderful and caring community of professionals.
@timmaidment.comToday in Libraryland: paperwork and next year's rotas, familiar faces walking in, storytimes, board games clubs, Library Knowledge Network display planning for the new year, quiet corners, digital support volunteers, schools outreach, catalogue assistance, and a coffee #librarylife
@murielsdivorce.bsky.social🥀 Sometimes a cover just grabs me. This romantic medieval tableau gasps with longing! From the 1973 reprint of Jean Plaidy's (a.k.a. Victoria Holt and Eleanor Hibbert) The Thistle and the Rose. I'm also willing to forgive that hair not being under a hat...it's a mash up...LOL 📚💙 #LibraryLife #Books
@cflfanuk.bsky.socialThe people have spoken - it's a landslide! #medlibs #librarylife
@nlaglibs.bsky.socialOur library at Goole is moving to our education centre. The team are busy getting everything ready for our colleagues! We look forward to welcoming you soon! #TeamNLAG #librarylife
@murielsdivorce.bsky.socialAs a librarian, yes I wish Libby was used more, but Spotify selection is PEAK and a lot of people are already subscribers. Also: markets across all liveable continents will be added throughout the end of this year. 📚💙 #LibraryLife

The Library Game Kickstarter ends Sunday. And we've "hit: the stretch goal so backers at the Just the Game level and above get a free limited-edition book cart patch. www.kickstarter.com/projects/amb...
(and yes we're aware of the typo)
@anniethebook.bsky.socialInfo you can use. #LibraryLife
@anniethebook.bsky.socialI've been telling folks in research consults and workshops that our library chat is always staffed by human librarians, with masters degrees in library science. By and large, people LOVE this.
And then, today...
@ydnam.bsky.socialIt continues today. The ALA recommends not keeping patron histories! For me that's enough to outweigh the "but sometimes a kid wants to try and look up something they read a while ago."
@timmaidment.comToday in Libraryland: knit and natter groups, student study clusters, rhymetime and stories, exhibits of community art projects, coffee mornings, direct mail-outs for upcoming events, toddlers in sensory nooks, books arriving from other libraries, room bookings, and a coffee #librarylife
@amandaspino.bsky.socialWhen you have a Winnie the Pooh book display and need a stuffed bear so you go to Goodwill and look who's sitting right there waiting for you. ❤️

@anniethebook.bsky.socialToday at the research help desk: Japanese work ethic, print shop, misspelled Welsh poetry, emailing articles to faculty, benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy, do I have enough research?, New World plants used as medicine in 1600s & 1800s.
It's been a fun shift.

@anniethebook.bsky.socialToday I was briefly irate at a book that had a colophon that didn't include cataloging info. Lazy publishers. How am I supposed to know what the book's primary genre is without having to read the whole thing? ( I *would* read the book, but the bosses won't let me.)
