Happy Caturday! My daughter adopted a cat today. This is a first for our family- we have always been dog people. Say hi to Percy!

Let kids read whatever they want to read. It’s reading. There is no right or wrong.

Librarian back from vacation! First order of business: set out my desk souvenirs. A lot of kids here will never get to travel (rural, low-income area.) They love asking about my trip and I teach them a bit about what I saw ❤️

Update on my most personal ongoing quest: can now confirm old-school McDonald’s fried apple pies in three locations- London, Edinburgh and Lisbon. (Not available in Paris.) We will return in two years with a new update.

Why on earth do we not deplane planes by connecting flights first, destination second??? Airlines have such a structured boarding process and then it’s a shitshow on exit. I’m so tired of running through airports.

Flying EasyJet from Edinburgh to Lisbon, everyone boarded and seated within 15 minutes. Fast and efficient. Lovely. Also, why can’t we do this in the U.S.?????

A statistic that is relevant and should be remembered by every person in the book industry: 54% of adults read BELOW a sixth-grade level. The majority of adults.

Every day I get a patron or someone in public who does not know that you can borrow library books on your kindle. And it’s so easy! Libby, people, Libby.

Each time I open BlueSky, I’m amazed he is still going!! I hope people LISTEN. He’s doing what a Senator SHOULD do- speaking passionately about what is good for our country.

As we enter our 6th month of winter in the U.P. with a couple feet of snow still on the ground, it is 15 degrees outside this morning 😣 Somebody, please, post a picture of spring in the comments. Give me hope! P.s. unfortunately this is NOT an April Fool’s joke ugh

This is a brilliant and beautiful picture book! I learned about it here on Bluesky, and now you’re hearing about it on Bluesky too. So glad I ordered it! 🤩

Museums, performance halls, libraries and national parks are not political entities. They do not have political ideologies. They are places for, and celebrate, all people.
