When your new scanner gets a paper jam and the patron starts screaming at it…

It’s 7:01 PM & it’s still too early for this 🙄😂. Today I (& @kmichelle1) had the most “ This could have been an email”-est meeting of all meetings. Actually, every our Youth Services coordinator said was stuff she had literally already told us in emails throughout the past 2 weeks 🤦🏾‍♀️. The only knew info we got was that #summerreading T-shirts haven’t come in yet. Me & @kmichelle1 basically spent 75% of the meeting texting emojis to each other & @pinkdotmanda & I would roll our eyes at each other from our desks 😂😂😂. 4 hours later & I still have the headache from that meeting...ay Dios mio 🤦🏾‍♀️😂. #libraryproblems #lifeofalibrarystaff #meetingssuck #whyaremeetingsathing https://www.instagram.com/p/CPCDx7HLR2U/?utm_medium=tumblr

When you grab the correct book with the matching ID number for the hold. #mystic_doe #librariesofinstagram #libraryproblems #instantrelief https://www.instagram.com/p/B6CJk6GHkhJ/?igshid=1j1lb9wvkfrfk

The kind of book you have to be able to turn in the light to appreciate how gorgeous the cover is. Picked this book up off the hold list last night with both excitement and a sinking sense of doom. I am so behind on my library stack! I need to take a day off (or two or three) and just read... . #davidmogogodhunter #suyidaviesokungbowa #africanspeculativefiction #libraryproblems #read https://www.instagram.com/p/B22NbNrgWCb/?igshid=1ke1360reipwc

See, this is the kind of nonsense I get up to when I visit a branch of the library I’ve never been to before. Do I already have checked out more books than I could possibly finish before I return them? Yes. Am I currently in the middle of three books already that are NOT library books, that have 1600+ pages between them? Also yes. Did I not JUST have to pay off my max fines in order to get my card unsuspended? ALSO. YES. . #libraryproblems #cadl #toomanybookstoolittletime #booklover #read #godswaspsandstranglers #mikeshanahan #ariddreams #duanwadpimwana #muipoopoksakul #feministpress #yourfavoritebandcannotsaveyou #scottomoore #koreanscripthacking #judithmeyer https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pNTDwACCm/?igshid=tn0qtw9roa1a

Sometimes the library makes my reading life almost *too* easy. Thursday night I finally found my new @gettbr recommendations (my email sorted them into the wrong folder) and I immediately put them all on my library hold list. The next night I brought my kid to a library program, held after normal library hours on a Friday night), and I was able to pick up my holds on the way in and check them out at the self-check while I sat in cozy chairs and read while my kid played Minecraft. Now I have even MORE library books checked out and IT’S ALMOST LIKE YOU DON’T WANT ME TO GET ANYTHING DONE EXCEPT READ AMAZING BOOKS, LIBRARY. . . Full disclosure, only Good Talk and Don’t Call Us Dead are from my TBR recommendations. One other rec hasn’t come in yet, and one wasn’t on the library system and I was too impatient to file a request, so I just bought it online. We Were Witches I spied on the shelves and had to check out out of nostalgia for my Hip Mama days, and I put a hold on The Kiss Quotient after looking for it on the shelves several times and never finding it. Here’s hoping I can get tot it in the stack before someone else gets a hold in! . . #libraryproblems #readerproblems #gettbr #toomanybookstoolittletime #thekissquotient #helenhoang #wewerewitches #arielgore #feministpress #dontcallusdead #danezsmith #graywolfpress #goodtalk #mirajacob https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz5yoM3gbsV/?igshid=uvp19iex6ri3

My current library book situation. It is... excessive. Some of these I have had out for a *while* and need to read or send back. I have declared that I will finish at least one of these this afternoon. . . #bookstack #riotgrams #librarylove #libraryproblems #cadl #toomanybookstoolittletime #margaretkilljoy #thebarrowwillsendwhatitmay #jeanninehillfletcher #thesinofwhitesupremacy #beginnerskorean #lifesworkamoralargumentforchoice #drwillieparker #robertobolaño #thespiritofsciencefiction #joyful #ingridfetelllee #mybodyisabookofrules #elissawashuta #elementsfire #tanekastotts #theproblemofsusan #neilgaiman https://www.instagram.com/p/BzD4N9GgCGq/?igshid=9rno1c1twbwr

You probably shouldn’t dump your tote bag full of audiobooks on the counter. Especially since there’s a person standing next to you and you could hit them.
