Yesterday a patron returned Haunted Ecologies by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social.
Me: It's finally my turn to check it out!
New patron: Hey, that book looks cool. Can I check it out?
Other patron: It does look cool, can I get on the wait list for that?
Me: Absolutely! (resigned to waiting yet again)

It’s another Saturday at the library!
But this Saturday is different! It’s the Eastham Turnip Fest! This is my little puppet turnip buddy.
He’s so full of joy. So full of wonder and awe. You can clearly see that on his face. No fear of being eaten when the day is done.
Oh to be so naïve
