I keep forgetting that you use Metro and therefore are a 'neighbor' to me. :) My son is now working at Belle Isle so I let him schlepp my books. I'm doing summer reading because it's on Beanstack online, but that's the only program that works for me.

Definitely the find of the day in random online posts.

Sad for children, library staff, libraries, and communities.

I guess they want to keep people ignorant. They don't want smart people because then they would see thru their agendas. Fight them with everything you can. Vote these people out.

The States Who Visit Their Public Libraries The Mostdigg article by Jared Russo

MORE NW Wisconsin consortium does a summer 'passport' program to encourage us to visit all the different libraries in the area. This year was our first; we visited 22 different ones and got see so many different ways they serve communities. I checked out lots of jigsaw puzzles and several games as well as too many books!But nothing tops my mom's library in the Pima County (Tucson) consortium for sheer service. She is currently monitoring her blood pressure with an 8 week loan of a (electric) device!
Another reason to choose the library instead 
Hah! Indeed, it might almost be worth it.
Sorry, I don't know how to post photos. I needed a sweatshirt and wanted to support a good cause. ACLU and others wanted $50 or more. I found Plot Threads via ALA and got two for $32 each. And I love them!

Bargain hunting is an important part of bookery when a new hardcover goes for upwards of 30 smackers!

Need a laugh?Go to YouTube and search Times Librarians Surprised Everyone With Their Sense Of Humor.
Several channels have posts of various pictures. Of course there's duplication but still fun.
My son is a librarian (in otj training) and he says the premise is wrong... he doesn't think that others think that librarians have a sense of humor. But I loved the top result for that search and will watch the others when I can. Even though I disagree with some of the captions (no, it's not only in Arkansas that you can borrow fishing equipment... at least WI and Missouri, too, and I bet others).

Fishing equipment, museum and zoo passes, binoculars, telescopes, musical instruments and more are available from various libraries.
That is true. I've personally seen all of those except musical instruments at various libraries in my family members' communities.
I just saw in my email that October is National Cookbook Month. Just saying.
Hey, I've been meaning to winnow my collection... good timing to maybe motivate me!

Thanks. Very impressive.

Wow. Interesting comments, too. Yes, treasures like this do get hidden, and can get forgotten.
Um, I'm always terrible at things like this. How about: A Tale of Two Cities' Restaurants. Or: Pride and Pumpernickel. And, I remember someone else coined Mocha Dick for some reason.

My family would be clueless on how to buy a book! However, I did win a Debbie Macomber Christmas romance book at the library open house and also 2 puzzle books.
