Shout-out to volunteer, Tay @skeletonkiing.bsky.social, who’s been doing a great job cataloguing the never-ending backlog of #Diablo books. These have definitely been weighing heavy on me since starting the site, as they’re all on my shelves and I just keep procrastinating. 3 years later…

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

Raise your hand if you think libraries are cool and need to be funded and protected 🙋 Raise your hand if you think library workers deserve a little treat 🙋 #LibrarySky 💙📚

Shout-out to Libby, the library app that lets you borrow books and read/listen on your phone! It's getting my son into books, and helps me find content for my podcast! #booksky #podcast #librarylove #library #books

I have decided today on a random adventure with my dog that I want to work on not finishing things. Sometimes I get obsessive and anxious when I don’t complete something. Like it shouldn’t be crippling when I don’t complete a readathon challenge.
