@IllinoisRBML Excellent event. Thank you for sharing your expertise! Happy Samheim.

We still have room in our Wednesday seminar! Join RBML curators for a live and interactive discussion of early modern witchcraft utilizing our rare books 10/26 7:30 pm CT.

@dailyherald @BurtConstable @Toyota Happy retirement, Burt! Yours was usually the first column I'd turn to in DH. You've shown us the best of humanity. I discovered fascinating people through your columns; loved reading your Thanksgiving family updates. I'll miss you & your writing. Enjoy retirement!

With @Toyota #Prius nearing 275,000 miles and this columnist at about 5,000 columns, both are about to take new path @BurtConstable dailyherald.com/news/20220804/…

@KingKoala79 @SnoqualmiePass Glad you are ok. I was on the 9am shuttle yesterday from Eburg - SEA and i90 was beautiful and clear the whole way. We knew the snow was coming in a few hours. I also do not plan to travel thru the Cascades during the winter any more!

Due to heavy snowfall, poor visibility & avalanche danger west of the summit, I-90 will remain closed between North Bend (MP 34) to Ellensburg (MP 106). An update will be provided at 5 p.m.

@KateDiCamillo Look whose book is mentioned in Tor.com tor.com/2021/08/03/six… (I'd add Because of Winn Dixie to that list.)

#AskaLibrarian Looking for more stories about the Night Witches (the Soviet women bombers in WWII). *** I've read: - The Huntress - a graphic novel Night Witches by Garth Ennis - Night Witches by Kathryn Lansky ***

@wblibrary Thankful for a new US president - and that I have 4 books on hold to pick up today at the library.

For #AskALibrarian!

@SyossetLibrary Yes, it's a great book. I often recommend it.

@MedievalBats THE JUNGLE by Upton Sinclair shows why labor unions are so important #AskaLibrarian

With a Cesar Chavez bust prominent in the Oval Office now, what are some good books about Chavez or union organizing? #AskALibrarian

@nyplmulberryst I really liked Haddix's series Shadow Children so I'll add Uprising to TBR. Thanks!

@MedievalBats Also, I'd be super interested to read Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix. It's about the labor union that emerged from the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. -Denise

@nyplmulberryst Yes! This was a great movie.

@MedievalBats It's not a book, but the film Pride is an excellent take on the role of LGBT groups and the British miner's strike. -Denise

@PrinceWmLibrary Geronimo Stilton is eye-catching with wacky fonts; might appeal to younger readers. Hank Zipzer series by Henry Winkler is a lot of fun.

Ask a Librarian: Any recommendations for kids who have already read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dogman but now need something new to read? #askalibrarian #pwplibraries

#askalibrarian In honor of the big snow in northeast (where I do not live) - are there humorous books involving snow storms?

@MultCoLib @Zendibble Jon Scieszka has fun Astronuts graphic books - The Water Planet, The Plant Planet.

@MydearPham @MultCoLib Any Kate DiCamillo - Because of Winn Dixie will be a classic!

hey @MultCoLib #AskaLibrarian, what youth classic literature should I read? or something similar to ACD's Sherlock Holmes?

@accessfreely @andrewaydin @Nate_Powell_Art @ArtSpiegelmaus @MaxBrooksUKnews @GeorgeTakei @Marji_Satrapi I totally forgot - Maus introduced me to historic graphic novels!

March by @andrewaydin @Nate_Powell_Art, Maus by @ArtSpiegelmaus, Harlem Hellfighters by @MaxBrooksUKnews, They Called Us Enemy by @GeorgeTakei, Gettysburg:the Graphic Novel by C.M. Butzer, Persepolis by @Marji_Satrapi and maybe try Redbone by #ChristianStaebler. #AskALibrarian

@balibrary An excellent book!

They Called Us Enemy by George Takei is well worth checking out! It tells the story of his family's imprisonment in internment camps during WWII.

@pimalibrary Yes - Boxers and Saints is wonderful.

@wblibrary I do love (and own) March!

@MedievalBats Our go-to for this is the March series by John Lewis chronicling his journey through the Civil Rights movement #AskALibrarian

Hello #AskALibrarian. Looking for graphic novels of historic events. I just finished the heartbreaking/incredible Kent State by Derf Backderf.

@opl_bpo A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote.

What's your favourite holiday movie (bonus points for ones based on a book!) #AskALibrarian
