Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Silly person, there's no such thing as too many books! 😉

Okay but here me out:

A nighttime library in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, an emotional support library ghost leads you to the books you are looking to find, and midnight croissants are served during every full moon.

One of the best written TV characters ever in my opinion ❤️ Only John could have brought Jenkins to life!
Happy Birthday to John Larroquette... immortal caretaker, artifact expert, and king of dry humor. Watch him as Jenkins in #TheLibrarians, free on #ElectricNOW.

Is anyone else getting an excessive amount of scam calls where the caller ID just shows "HH?"

I have blocked over 30 numbers with that caller ID in the past 2 days. Over the course of 1 hour they called me 13 times. It is not a real call. The internet says it's very dangerous.

Library of Congress Madison Building 5th floor. Stand in the hallway & ask a random question. In seconds someone will poke their head out of a division door and answer your question. No prompting, just a head hanging out of a door saying your answer and then popping back in and shutting the door.
Every library should have a secret musty back room with a weird local archive and an archivist who with a dry laugh (like crisp autumn leaves) who has been waiting patiently for the sudden need to arise for this specific cache of information

There's a small farm in between my neighborhood and the neighborhood next to us. Some of us lucky homeowners get to enjoy cows coming right up to the fence in our backyards. The farm manager puts the food troughs along all of the outer edging of fencing so we all get to enjoy them visiting ❤️

I swear this is what Stone/Finkelstein called the game he was playing with the frost giants in the reunion of evil episode? @electricentertainment.com

BTW that episode was aweeeeesoooome😉
Hnefatafl (sometimes now referred to as Viking chess) was a popular game in medieval Scandinavia and was mentioned in several of the Norse sagas. Some of these saga references have contributed to controversy over the possible use of dice in playing hnefatafl.

Please do this! Libraries and librarians really really need your support. Because the dismantling of the Department of Education will impact us ALL
Libraries do so much for our communities and families and we'd like to give back! 

Please take time this coming week to send an email or postcard of appreciation for your library to your superintendent, school board/city council, county commissioners court- or to librarians themselves!
