The plans are free, but you’ll need to bring your own 3D printer.
“Dubbed ThisAbles, the project’s objects are available online as free schematics, and can be 3D-printed and installed on Ikea mainstays like the Billy bookcase or Karlstad couch.“ You may be able to find a 3D printer at your local library, makerspace, or community college lab!
Pro-tip for anyone applying for a librarian assistant position (or any other library job that doesn’t require an MLS) who has never worked in a library before—
Don’t talk up how much you love books or reading or “calm, quiet environments”
Do talk up ANY customer service experience you have, especially in chaotic environments that required multitasking. Also mention volunteering or anything to show that you like helping people.
I’ve been an interviewer for quite a few Library positions and what we always look for is people who both
Have customer service experience
Still genuinely care about other people despite that
Working in a library is about serving the public all day and holding onto compassion for your community even when things are busy and chaotic and people are rude or downright scary.
It’s one of the reasons leftist activists make great librarians.
You have to be able to work with people and believe that people are fundamentally worth supporting and collaborating with to build and strengthen community. There’s no room for misanthropy- you need to radically care about people.

The first five years of a child’s life are critical for language exposure, but studies suggest children in lower-income families often don’t experience the rich literary environment wealthier kids do. A New York City initiative trying to close that gap encourages reading in a spot families visit every week -- but don't usually consider educational. Special correspondent Lisa Stark reports.
Every I day I find even more reasons to love librarians as caring community health partners.
where’s the lie
person: you’re so great me: OH REALLY [pulls out my own receipts]
A little girl hears for the first time the Muslim call to prayer.

I’ll never get over how adorable she is :’)
My heart needed this.

Me during Nanowrimo: It is nanowrimo day four and I have only written a thousand words total :(
Me any other time: I’ve written a thousand words, fuck yeah!
The library I work at Unfiltered 😊
library aus (based off my experiences working in a university library)
i found you asleep in the stacks. we’re closed. please go home.
i’m too short to reach the top shelf and too stubborn to get a stool. you watched me take a running leap for it before you offered to grab the book for me
you reserved the book i wanted to check out first and i hate you for it
no, i cannot help you find your textbook if you don’t know what it’s called. “it has a blue cover” doesn’t help
you have rented and returned the entire buffy the vampire series in the span of 8 days. are you okay.
you said that shakespeare was dumb while checking out fight club and i am ready to Fight You
you saw me dancing to my ipod while reshelving books. please don’t judge me. or tell my boss.
I’m always pulling books you reserved so I’ve started leaving little notes in them for you.
WHY DID YOU ANNOTATE A LIBRARY BOOK IN PEN.
someone left a comment card in the suggestions box that says “the reference librarian is super cute” and now all of the reference librarians are arguing over who it’s for
i walked in on you and your boyfriend making out in the upper level and now french lit is ruined for me forever
your study group ordered pizza to the library and you let me have some
you brought your drunk friend to the library and then left them passed out in the play section. why would you do this.
you keep watching baby animal videos on youtube without headphones on and i should yell all you but they’re really cute baby animals
Fun Fact #32: The June SAT isn’t actually happening this year. Everyone who signed up for that test will be forced to make uncomfortable eye contact with the person next to them for 3 hours and 45 minutes
Book Sculptures by Allison Glasgow
I am a life-long bookseller and avid reader. I began making these book sculptures when struggling to come up with a gift for my boss, celebrating the ten year anniversary of her bookstore. There was no book I could give her that she hadn’t already discerned, so I decided to take a favorite book of poems and reconfigure it into a tree. Dismantling a book is not done without consciousness. Books are precious items. All the books used in my art have been loved and read, and are chosen because of their particular worth. Taking apart text, line by line, I like to think I am reading these books in a different way. Words take on different meanings when isolated or spun into a physical form. These art pieces are an attempt to read words as objects.

i’m doing all this research on when “like” is used as a filler vs. “um” or “uh” or whatever & i’m really loving this
basically my fav pattern so far is how these teen girls use “like” pretty exclusively when they’re sharing these concepts that are unknown to them or just guess work, ya know?
they’ll say “here’s the, um, living room” but then they’ll say “in this picture my brother is, like, howling or something”
& i love it i mean i love the way they use “like” to express uncertainty and idk pensiveness? “um” expresses a break in a sentence, some disfluency. but “like” holds actual semantic meaning and is an indicator that expresses what follows isn’t gonna be totally accurate but just to the speaker’s best estimation.
i mean, he’s, like, howling or something, right?
girl talk is cool talk
No matter how much you love to cook, cleaning up a messy kitchen is always a caveat. These meals cook in 30 minutes or less and keep cleanup to a minimum.
“We’ve cleaned her up. You can describe who she is now. She’s got the specific description now just like Batman or Superman. She’s the daughter of a god.” -
Great piece about Wonder Woman, the prevalence of the “father/child” motivation and effectively absent (if not fridged) mothers in comics.
We used to be mentors and moral authorities...
I don’t agree with everything in this article, but it definitely has some interesting pieces.
Writing is hard, it’s messy and it’s okay to admit that too, in fact, messiness and failure are what what make writing and art sacred.
