Our public library does this thing where they have the top of one shelf in the kids section that they call the "kid librarian display" and then every week they have a different kid librarian who gets to pick out which books go up on that shelf.
They post pictures on the library's facebook page and it's just so freaking cute I can't even stand it.
Have you seen the new movie? It's on library. It's literally on the library. It's on library without ads. It's literally on your local public library. You can probably ask for it on your library. Dude it's on your library. It's in the original case too. It's on library. You can watch it at the library. You can go to your local library and watch it. Register onto your local library right now. Go to your library. Dive into your library. You can watch it. It's on there. Your library has it for you. Your library has it for you.
Have you seen your post? You can see it at library. It's at library. It's on the library staff cabinet. It got printed out on paper and put up on Library.
oh my GOSH wow... I'm on Library...
On the one hand, i’m amused at the joke. On the other hand, I’m a librarian and this shelving is horrifying.
Well, no shelving system is without fault.
Dunno if anybody will see this but this person made a how to guide on how to make this at home (this guide is from 2 yrs ago btw)
A handy spreadsheet to work out the dimension of the parts to cut

Love being brutally called out by the British Library
Oh my gosh I went here a few days ago do you guys want to see the whole sign
I’m covered with “Librarians from Everywhere” but as a former museums professional “Tourists who think we’re the British Museum” really speaks to me on a personal level.
I’m “all ten people who think they’ve got the most niche interest in the whole building”
Inner library
In the 1830s, such books were very popular, as they showed the reader amazing 3D projections.
Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card.
Was looking for a book today when I saw these various animal books all on the same shelf and noticed their titles made a nice little impromptu poem about veterinary medicine
Nobody has mentioned this but I am so glad you did! I’ve never heard of spine poetry and I love the concept. I found these titles at a used bookstore that stacks books pretty freely so I will most definitely be scanning the spines for poetry every time I go
Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :
The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !
I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️
#MiniatureMonday
Happy Mini Monday! To look at this book, you might assume that it is an unvarnished depiction of spring in full bloom, but reading it is another experience. A Nest of Robins is actually pretty bloody. The book is “nested” (ha-ha) in four layers of boxes, pictured above, each with a stanza of poetry. The first few boxes have a motif of colorful tissue paper crumpled up to simulate spring textures, presenting the reader with winding, verdant imagery. As you reach the final box and the book itself, the colors cool into a darker navy.
The poetry in the first box describes a baby robin with an uncertain fate. Each subsequent line winds towards the poem’s bloody conclusion: “Slay before you are slain / and eat before / eat you.” The book contained within the final box, written in prose, has a similar message. The story begins with a young girl, who witnesses a squirrel stealing an egg from a robin’s nest. From there, it spirals towards other various acts of escalating violence, in which the girl is both an agent and a witness. The juxtaposition of brutality in the story and the beauty of the container feels perverse, but the book does not shy away from either. Violence seems like it should announce itself clearly, but A Nest of Robins shows how it creeps into our lives in subtle, everyday ways.

Jimbocho Booktown in Tokyo!
Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?
Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.
Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?
Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.
The Library!
For When Not Even God Can Help You!
