Had such a great time at the Yule Ball last night. It was the first idea I brought with me when I was hired as a librarian with MCLD. Months of planning really paid off! 😄👍📚👐 (Photo cred to @bibliophile_amy too!) #librawrian #harrypotter #yuleball #werk #butterbeer #goldensnitch #quidditch #storytime #thethreebrothers #chamberofsecrets #ravenclaw #gryffindor #platform9¾ #moaningmyrtle #tumblarian #librarian #publiclibrarian

Outlined a lifeboat based on the book’s dimensions for my book club today and made them all get in… Really helped them gain perspective considering there were 13 of us and 39 in the story! 😂📚👐 #thelifeboat #charlotterogan #librawrian #werk #librarianwardrobe #librariestransform #groundsforthought #bookclub

On the one hand, of course Ann M. Martin is gay. The Baby-Sitters Club is a company founded by a brilliant, ambitious tomboy femme who empowers a diverse group of young women to get out in the world and get paid and change lives. There’s a reason these books remind us so much of ourselves, even though there aren’t any overtly openly gay characters in them. On the other hand, I feel shocked that Ann M. Martin is gay. In a wonderful way! My bisexual sister and I spent half our lives devouring these books in our tiny little town in rural Georgia, and even though neither of us had language or an outlet for our feelings at that age, we were being babysat by the ultimate babysitter and now it’s apparent that she was also our queer guardian angel! She protected our imaginations!

A very happy birthday to Ken Kesey, who was born on this day in 1935. Kesey, an inimitable provocateur and countercultural icon, was perhaps best known for his seminal novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, published in 1962.

Cuckoo’s Nest will be published this year as part of the Penguin Orange Collection, a limited-run series of twelve classic books packaged in the original Penguin tri-band design founded, coincidentally, the same year as Kesey’s birth.
