There's a gem called Buddstone.

And when I try to look it up on Wikipedia it keeps taking me to moss agate.

Dead Man's Mouth, anyone??,

lmao yes Buck was named after his grandpa. Bill Dewey is a fusion experiment with components of a gemified William Dewey and Buddy Budwick.

Buddy Budwick is Buck Dewey’s grandpa aaaa that campaign sign makes so much more sense now XD

Is the Buddwick Public Library an archival repository? [Part 1]

Jamie as Buddy Buddwick, surrounded by books he has written in the episode "Buddy's Book"

In January of last year in my weekly newsletter, I linked to my first post about archives and archivy themes in Steven Universe, then I wrote that "...the Buddwick Public Library is archivy in the sense that all the books were written by the town’s founder, Buddy Buddwick and library serves as a repository of said books." I'd like to expand upon that with this post and examine it a little further.

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on Aug. 12, 2022.

A repository is defined by the SAA's Dictionary of Archives Terminology as storing "items of continuing value" or an institution focused on "the care and storage of items of continuing value," especially records. This is different from the much narrower terms, depository, digital depository, records center, archives, or even library.

The key part of the episode is toward the end, where Buddy declares that he followed Rose Quartz's suggestion to become an author. He says, and I quote, "...become an author I did! I wrote up a storm, making book after book, so many until I realized I could fill a library with them!" Steven and his friend, Connie, come to the realization that the library they are in, the Buddwick Public Library is filled with Buddy's book. After the unnamed librarian, predictably shushes them, they recognize that how they portrayed Buddy was wrong, but admit to one another they liked how they saw him better.

Unfortunately, we don't get another look at the library in the series proper. The fandom site for the show notes that Buddy had written enough "books to fill an entire library," which is how the library came into existence. When the library is featured in a few comics associated with the series, there is no insight into the library and its collections, although the librarian is somewhat redeemed.

It seems clear from the episode we do see, however, that the library has more than a bunch of books written by Buddy. Why would the citizens of town use the library if it only contained his books? Perhaps his books form the core of their collections, but it is doubtful those are the only books or materials there. That just wouldn't make sense.
