obsessed with this bookshop in stratford-upon-avon having WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE listed as a ”local author”
Link
I believe he also now has a library card.
He does!
For Valentine's Day my local library set up a romance free collection in the YA section, complete with little ace and aro colored hearts with silly "eww" "nope" "not for me" messages, and I for one think that is incredibly asexy of them.
Image Descriptions: The first image is a photograph of a sign that has white text on a black background that reads, “Roses are red, violets are blue, these titles have no romance just for you!” In the middle of the sign is a pink heart symbol that's been crosssed out.
The second image is the aforemened library collection as a whole, featuring the sign shown in the first image and everything else described in the caption.
Say hello to Mary Skelly, job title: Grim Reader
(Every library ought to have a skeleton!)
Book display: Gilt-y Pleasures
(No, that wasn’t a typo)
I really love the current trend of gilded or sprayed edges, makes everything feel so fancy!
TWO DAYS ONLY! This Wed. Oct. 29 and Thurs. Oct. 30, 9:30am-4pm: visit the California History Reading Room for a rare opportunity to view some slightly creepy, somewhat weird, and mildly macabre items from our Special Collections. Come take a peek, just in time for spooky season! 900 N Street, Sacramento.
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.
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”

[Video description: "girlfriend" by hemlocke springs plays. A senior citizen approaches a library shelf. Text reads "You're 78, you can't read manga." She selects The Magic Fish from the shelf and looks at the cover. Text reads "I'm 90" as she swiftly looks up at the camera, sticks out her tongue, and makes a gesture that is pixelated. She walks away, puts on a pair of sunglasses, then looks back at the camera briefly to give the saltiest side-eye from behind her shades. She swaggers confidently off-camera.

love the library. there's no risk. you can take out a book and go "wow this sucks" and just give it back. and when you do that you're still making the library's Number Go Up so you'll be able to roll the dice on even more books. all for the low low price of free/you already paid for it with your tax money so you might as well use it

let's go to the library with mama
sometimes it feels like a significant amount of my job as a librarian is chasing people around trying to give them free stuff.
I've never rooted for someone harder! You can do it man!
The patron
The alien came to the library again, shortly before closing time, and quickly found a book.
"May this entity borrow The Complete History of Knitting?"
They always return the book they borrow after five minutes, but the ritual of checking it out seems important to them.
"Of course. Did you bring your card?"
I looked them up, after the first time I saw them for real. They first registered with us over ninety years ago. The senior librarian who first told me about them said I shouldn't stare, or pry.
"Whatever else they are, they are a patron, and should be treated as such," she said. "If they seek knowledge, it is our duty to help them find it."
There isn't an ancient and secret code of librarians, but that is definitely a core part of it. If such a code existed.
I scan the card and the book. "There you go," I say and hand them over. "Please return it within two weeks."
They tilt their head. "This entity will honour your terms."
"Oh! That reminds me, we have updated the terms since your last visit." I hand them the pamphlet we got from the printers last week. "It's mostly about internet usage, but I'll need you to read them and agree."
They study the pamphlet.
"These are terms this entity can abide by." They pause. "Is there no requirement to keep your existence secret?"
"Of course not," I say, "we always welcome new patrons."
They stand silent, long enough for me to realise the implications of what I have just said.
"This entity had made an assumption, based on prior experiences on countless worlds, where knowledge is always closely guarded and costly to obtain" they say at last. "You will provide knowledge for free to all who seek it?"
In my mind, I weigh humanity's ignorance of those countless worlds of alien civilisations against the code.
"Yes," I say, "this is a library."
