A sweet new addition to our #caturday library. 

Accessioning gives the curator a first look at a new acquisition. Often, it’s the first opportunity to find hidden treasures inside books, such as drawings, inscriptions or ephemera tucked between pages. Sometimes it’s just as exciting to see a kitten illustrated on the cover. 

Family Cares; and other stories. Boston : D. Lothrop and Company, [1879].

So behind on my reading goal. Had to make a trip to the library. Maybe a due date will establish a routine and I will finally read what is on my shelf. #choices #bookstagram #librarytreasures #restartingmygoals #booknerdforeverandproud

Students and teachers keep finding hidden messages shoved into books in a college library in Ontario, Canada. The most disconcerting part? No one knows what the messages mean or where they came from. But, if you can figure it out, a professor at the college will give you $100 CAD. There are 18 coded notes, and they’ve all been found in Western University’s Weldon Library. There are 50 different symbols on each note, so either it’s an incredibly advanced code, or the notes might not even be in English.

What's that? The intro to an edition of Sadequain's calligraphy/illustration of Ghalib's couplets, signed by Faiz himself?! #librarytreasures #freakingout
