Halloween is NOT canceled around here. We may have to stay home and social distance, but @charmingly_self_indulgent and @starky_llama have been hard at work on The Abusement park!! This is going to be fun amd games for our whole family. We're going to make taffy, fudge, and other homemade goodies, play these awesome games Tasha invented, have photo opps, and all from the safety of our own home. It's not going to be the same as traditional Halloween, it might not even be better, but it's going to be the year we did That Thing, and win, lose, or draw Halloween is still happening. #halloween #thisishalloween #halloweeninatimeofpandemic #halloweenideas #halloweenpartyideas #halloweenprep #pandemichalloween #covidnotcancelled #covidcantcancelthis #abusementpark #abusementparkHalloween #theyearwedidthatawesomething #upcycledcardboardboxes https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0AQqInxDA/?igshid=m0byl6csohqo

After washing my hair 5-days a week for a month now, I could not face another day of washing #allthathair So, I spontaneously cut off 3-4 inches and created some chunky layers. Then I looked at the pile of hair and cried. But, now I'm feeling ok about it. I miss everything about my stylists, and I'm sure they are not going to thank me for this. #haircareinapandemic #missingyou #homehaircut #redhairdoescare #ppeaftercare #selfcareinatimeofpandemic #embracethechaos #chaoslibrarian #librarylife #librarianswithink #librarianproblems #libraryinatimeofpandemic https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8t6aCny3Q/?igshid=bfm08egvth7s

“You carry this circus within yourself. He uses the fire as a tool. You are the greater loss, but too selfish to admit it. You believe you could not live with the pain. Such pain is not lived with. It is only endured. I’m sorry.”

-Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern is my all time favorite book (that explains why my ig username is pop_and_widge 😉) and it will remain my fave until I die. Huhu my love for this book is something I really can’t explain. I’ve been meaning to write a book review for it, but I always feel like my words aren’t worthy to describe how wonderful the book is.

Anyway, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE NIGHT CIRCUS TO EVERYONE. Read the goddamn book and thank me later. You guys, I’ve read it like three times already and same feels every time. Plus, I am patiently waiting for any @erinmorgenstern book. 💙 

Please, anything 🙏

These books were also my extreme faves and you should read them. Like we can all just fall in love or be heartbroken in more ways than one. Seriously, you can never go wrong w/ these stories. Actually, three of them celebrates LGBTQ+ (Hello pride month! 🌈)

Don’t forget to spread love!!!

P.S That book break bookmark is also my fave. Endless thanks to @papemelroti for being my creative stuffs haven.

Can non-library people order from the ALA store? Because I absolutely love love LOVE the Banned Books tote, and would like to have one of my very own.

Yes! Anyone can order from the ALA online store. International customers should check the FAQ for shipping information. 

Not only do they have that swanky I Read Banned Books tote, but you can also find celebrity READ posters (recognize any from your childhood library?), posters and bookmarks featuring your favorite comic book characters, great gifts for readers, and more.

#DefendDACA: Donald Trump announced that he is repealing the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows immigrants who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Many undocumented minors will be at risk of being deported to a country they know nothing about. New York, a city of immigrants, showed up at Foley Square to stand with immigrants and defend DACA.

She felt one thousand years old. She also felt like maybe she was a condescending brat. She wanted her bike. She wanted her friends, who were also one-thousand-year-old condescending brats. She wanted to live in a world where she was surrounded by one-thousand-year-old condescending brats.
