I mean, I am no scientist, but I am pretty sure I discovered this about myself ten years before that...

Just had a patron come in and state that "the governor said that if people need a mask for the smoke that libraries have N95s..." 🫠

I am seeing wildly different AQIs for my town depending on app or website. 🍎 Weather app is extremely high (190) while IQAir online is moderate (70s). What is most accurate?

Always a terrific list, but I will mention that I read PLANT LADY by Minyoung Kang and it was *chef's kiss*

Sad to hear this news: Dave Kendall has died. I used to watch 120 Minutes all the time.

I did not have "beavers attacking people on the lake" on my summer bingo card. Third one since July 4. wnyt.com/top-stories/...

RIP Bonnie. One of my favourite interviewees. I’d hope one day to go on this piss with you in real life rather than you encouraging me to get drunk while on our phone chat. What a woman.

July @libraryjournal.bsky.social SFF reviews are up! I reviewed @kateerobert.com's THE TAROT TRIALS, @suyidavies.com's SEASON OF THE SERPENT, @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social's ALL THE HIDDEN PLACES, @nghivo.bsky.social's THE SCARLET BALL, and AS YOU WAKE, BREAK THE SHELL by Becky Chambers.

"It was like that when I checked it out." "Sir, the book is on fire."

As a librarian, I have encountered many of these books being returned to us.

TIL that my parents did not learn ROY G BIV in regards to the rainbow colors.

Summer Reading has begun!

Space Unicorns! Behold the Uncanny Magazine Issue 71 Table of Contents and Ejiwa “Edge” Ebenebe cover! buff.ly/yi6Nl0E

You've aired your last supply.

We stopped being a voting location over three years ago but we still have people coming in asking where the voting machines are.

Today I am a chaperone for the 6th grade field trip to an outdoor center. In the rain, under a wind advisory. Pray for me.

Tomorrow I head to the Catskills to disconnect from online (limited wifi, only bringing phone) and see if I can unbury my creativity. I miss it.

Before I can go on vacation, I have had to survive a rainy parade, three open-to-evening-meetings shifts, and now another parade tonight. But then it is vacation, including a solo trip to the Catskills. #almostthere

Just read yesterday’s @askamanager.org column about conference fails. First one was a note about a library conference keynote talking about “winds of change” with a fart slide and not expecting that. This must be their first library conference? 🤷🏻

REALLY?!? I think that authors, themselves, will not be on the Guild's side in this...

Today on the blog-- I help you get those soccer displays up. I did the searching for you. Now put up the titles. And bonus points if you can have all ages and nonfiction and media all together. raforall.blogspot.com/2026/06/socc...

It has been a really long week. I know it is Tuesday; I stand by my statement.

But it gives me everything that I want! Especially french fries.

I am so sad about this. I love @subpress.bsky.social.

"Would you like to be buried, cremated, or donated to the Culinary Institute?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO www.bbc.com/news/article...

I never used to be a perfume person, but now I have discovered Sucrebaille, and I cannot stop getting samples. Librarians! Witches! Cheese!

It wouldn't be #librarylife without a problem with the bathrooms, right?

My June reviews are up! I saw stars for August Clarke's THE FELICITY COMPLEX and @freyamarske.bsky.social's BODIES OF MAGIC. More stars for @tkingfisher.com, @mytholder.bsky.social, @lillianjaine.bsky.social, and @aptshadow.bsky.social. www.libraryjournal.com/section/revi...

Past Kristi really needs to stop writing notes that current Kristi cannot understand.

What do you MEAN I have to go to work instead of finishing my book? (Currently enraptured with @natania.bsky.social's NETHERFORD HALL.)

As someone who lives in a popular tourist spot in upstate NY, I can attest to this.

TURKEY BEBEHS

Can anyone explain why when I give my cat a fresh water bowl every morning she must instead come lick the droplets off the tub after I shower?

At least someone is enjoying the patio on a rainy day.

This Saturday Librarian has not had a single patron since we opened at 9am. Of course I have now cursed myself…

I don't NEED a pair of butter clogs, do I?

Ah, it’s the old “hide a drawing of a penis in the library bathroom toilet paper holder” trick. That IS an old trick, right?

Recently finished HALFHEART by @lindenalewis.bsky.social and *swoons*

How do we go from 90 to a freeze warning? Oh yes, upstate NY.

I just backed The Wisdom of Emperors: Deluxe Collector's Edition on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale...

After a conversation with Little Dude this morning, I must present this: Blended soups are hot smoothies. Change my mind.

Went to Little Dude's HS orientation and while talking about the cell phone ban the principal said "...and I know this class has an issue with social media..."

Having some gaming flashbacks with the new cabinet display at the library: Atari!

Harassment. Spellcheck just says "gurl, get that second R outta there" every time I type.

So, all the B & T resources we lost and had to scramble to replace are now available again (except print ordering)? I wonder who will look to go back... www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Nothing wakes you up like having your 15 yo deaf cat and 4 yo dog team up against a mouse. Spoiled their fun by removing their toy from the house into the backwoods.

Got a message from Little Dude’s school that they are using AI “to explain their thinking and get immediate feedback” and WE get to give our thoughts on it too.

LOVED this book! It was Starred Review/Pick of the Month in Library Journal. www.libraryjournal.com/story/the-la...

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:
