Library 178 in my quest to knit in all of Vermont’s public libraries included a round of “The Vermont Game” where Vermonters exchange local knowledge to figure out how they are connected.
Spoiler alert: we found Heidi.

My wife kindly made a 4-minute video showing the *quantity* of libraries I have visited in my quest to knit in every public and academic library in the state so far: 174 down, 40 to go. I have a year left. Wish me luck!

Library 167 on my question to knit in every library in Vermont: Pettee Memorial Library (Wilmington)
Where I heard a tragic story of yarn floating down a river.

Does anyone use Maryland Model anymore for reference? If not, what are your steps for a reference interview? I have looked at ALA and other stuff. I figured I'd check with actual library workers. It just seems slightly dated.

A golden, tounge lolling out and eyes looking so sweetly as she faces the camera with Vincey for a selfie.
A black golden mix, laying on a carpeted floor, looking forlorn and wistful.
New therapy dog for kids to read to has joined us today, I went to say hi and she is SUCH a love bug. Our regular pup Vida is too, and looking so dramatically forlorn.

A plan of railway junctions in Northwest England from 1888. The plan shows the River Mersey and a jumble of dockside towns and cities (e.g. BIRKENHEAD, LIVERPOOL). Colourful railway lines connect each district. On the bottom left-hand side of the page there is a key to the colours used, and which rail line they signify.
Britain’s first public librarians were trained on-the-job. They moved from one #PubLib location to another to gain experience & upward promotion. I’m plotting their routes, using some extremely pretty late-nineteenth-century railway maps @britishlibrary.bsky.social

Can we talk dynamic shelving? Shelf chunking & stacking. Bc I’m gonna be honest, I have a visceral reaction to it & it’s not a good one 😅
I am pro creative signage, face out displays & table displays. (Before my MLIS I spent 8 yrs in merchandising for a large book company)

Hey #Skybrarians and #PubLib world! I would love to connect with more Upstate/Central/Western #NY #librarians to build up my mutuals. Leave a comment saying hello and what part of the state you’re in! 🍎 I’ll start 👇🏻

A note to library admins: a MAJOR deciding factor to accept my new position is flexibility with scheduling. I passed on a job that offered higher salary because they were strict about 9-5 and we live in a school district that doesn’t offer bussing or aftercare to PreK.

A handbill advertisement for an evening concert in aid of the funds of the Wandsworth Free Library. The patrons of the library are listed, then the ‘artistes’ performing are given in eye-catching block capitals. These performers include Signor Ria, a tenor better known for his roles at the Royal Opera house in Covent Garden. Miss Adelina Dinelli will be on the violin. The concert date is 12 April 1888; the venue is the local town hall.
Is your #PubLib struggling financially? Have you thought about getting up an evening concert in the local Town Hall to raise some cash?? Here is Wandsworth Free Library doing just that in south London. The 1888 event features “It Girl” Lilian Greville and the talented Mr Templar Saxe 💙📚

As we witness the country continue to elevate fascism and libraries remain under attack, I urge everyone to get a library card. If you want to support #libraries in a time of censorship and efforts to defund important community resources, this is an easy way to help. #publib

A B&W press clipping from March 1921. A man in a suit stands alongside an ingeniously modified vehicle that has its side doors wide open to show off the book-lined shelves inside.
To boost #PubLib use in remote districts, municipal libraries introduced “motor book cars” in the 1920s - like this one, which was used to transport books to readers in Perthshire, Scotland.

Patron: I have some old books, can you take them?
Me: Info about donations
Patron: Not DONATE. How much will you give me in cash?
Me: Um…that’s not something we do.
Patron: What kind of library won’t buy used books?
Me: All of them?
Patron: Storms out ranting angrily.

Sweet Jesus, I've just found #straya, and that is my very idea of hell.
Red belly black snake - poisonous AF, and just a sighting... *shudders*
You do not want snakes on a plane, or in a library...

If there's one book the far right are gonna want to ban in libraries...it would make sense for it to be this one.
Consider it your civic duty to order/borrow from your library to support the author, library + #publicspaces.

In case librarian folk haven't seen:
@melissagiragrant.com has done solid reporting on the war on libraries, including this:

My #actuallyautistic brain is on a library roll now, so rejecting the noisy Christian Fiction types who, gee, might be trying to ban books, based on the stats of circulation rates is SO GENIUS.
I'm curious to know if there's a genre that is super popular - guessing YA fiction?

PSA to love and support yr local library. ❤️📚
What librarians are getting:
"ONE SAID, CONTINUE WITH YOUR LGBT AGENDA ON OUR CHILDREN BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOUR FAT EVIL COMY ASS IN THE DIRT VERY SOON BITCH.
WE KNOW WHERE YOU WORK AND LIVE.
YOU HAVE A LARGE TARGET ON YOUR BACK."
