Proud that DC Public Library does this program as well, thanks to the library’s amazing social worker!

For Your Consideration
There is quite a literary flavor to this year’s Academy Award-nominated films, many of which are based on acclaimed novels and works of nonfiction. And three novelists–Alex Garland, Emma Donoghue, and Nick Hornby, received nominations in the Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplays categories.
Happy viewing, happy reading, and may the best book win!
Basically, the big winner at the Oscars this year was books.

Transforming Old Books into New Art
For more lovely literary art, explore the #bookart and #booksculpture hashtags on Instagram.
Marlene Marques (@a_novel_idea_21) spends up to four hours a day folding up and tearing through pages of old novels—but never destroying them. “Book art is about giving books new life,” she says. “Especially in the age of e-readers and e-books, it’s a great way to bring physical novels back into people’s homes.”
Marlene, originally from Portugal and currently living in New Jersey, first started creating book art as a personal pastime in the off-hours from her job as a 911 emergency call dispatcher. Eventually, she started sharing photos of the finished products on Instagram, and selling her work online.
“In the end I think I’m inspired by a love of books, and their smell,” she says. “What better way to recycle them than to re-create them into works of art?”
So this sign is hanging in my public library
New career goal: get this into the Library of Congress.
Important update from your friendly Community Bookstore
I’m the kind of girl who fantasizes about being trapped in a library overnight.
Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell (via ahhhmayzing)
Last night my boyfriend showed me a Facebook post by his friend who got trapped in the library at night after it closed. He prefaced it by saying "This is something you would love!" He knows me well.
#this was the greatest of stan lee’s cameos and if u disagree ur wrong
Now this is what I call a very special Library Journal moment!
I watched this entire scene through my fingers going "The books! Those poor books!!"
