Sitting at the Media Desk and overheard a patron looking at new releases: "What is The Life of Chuck?? Who is this?!?!" and isn't that actually a pretty good description of the plot and themes of that movie??

Her sister has taken to drawing phones with apps. The apps she has chosen: Rosy (her fave stuffy), favorite hat, school, hot chocolate, vitamins, jewelry, shower, chair, heart glasses, kissy, toothbrush, dress, charger, dragon, remote

Obsessed with this brain (my 7yo niece once again, this is basically a niece stan account now that I’m in my 40s)

A math question that reads “Brian is doing a set of 15 squats. He has done 8 squats. How many squats does he have left in the set? Show your work using addition to subtract.”

Paige has written:
“15-8=7. I counted it in my brain.”

I like this one. One cat goes one way and the other cat goes the other way.

Reminder from your resident high school lubrarian: if you plan to do a Banned Books Week display and programming, prioritize living marginalized authors. Use this time to help those who need it the most.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

Many thanks to Turn the Page! for the great little conversation about THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT. As the inaugural podcast for this novel, @jennlynnjordan.bsky.social was a gracious, insightful host as I discussed TOFH for the first time and used my almost atrophied vocal cords. :D
