How's everyone's day going? Know the saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket?" I'm trying out a new one: "Don't put all your books on one side of the shelving cart and attempt to hip-check it out of your way. " Needs work, I know. Anyway, that's my morning so far.

Ok, librarians, this one is for you: Started to look and see if my library system has any searchable "big books" for storytime as searchable in the catalog from home. Was thinking about how to refine my search and briefly hovered above "large print" because, technically... 😅

Libraries are one of our last third places, a public space where people can exist without having to spend money. They are access to books, yes, but also the Internet for those who don’t otherwise have access. They are creative spaces, create spaces, meeting, places. Libraries are democracy.

Sometimes when reviewing children's books, it's important to check the illustrations. This is especially true with non-fiction, as some publishers will just slap in any stock photos. Today I came across one of the worst (best?) examples and laughed so hard.

This is a very big deal indeed. A *real* competitor for Amazon. And they have my book! bookshop.org/p/books/unde...

Phew! Much better! A big thank you to my one blue Sargent Art permanent marker. I may have to stock up before they're all gone...

Where do I put it?! C'mon, publishers/cover designers, sometimes you KNOW you need to leave a little blank space! It also makes me extra glad that "One Big Open Sky" is the one with multiple awards! Imagine if she'd written "Many Cluttered Things" or the like! 😅

I'm so glad these were announced on a morning I was at home. The way I CHEERED for some of these announcements was better suited for my empty house! Ha!

Hey #ComicsSky, the Comic Shop in Oswego, NY is going through tough times and it would be appreciated if you could show them support. A link to purchase from their online store will be provided as well.

Hey everyone, please don't unplug electric items before turning them off & letting the motor stop- this goes for fans and ESPECIALLY the space heater in the library community room where the HVAC clearly isn't working. Ugh.
