Some parents are terrified by Librarians, but, sure, just drop your daughter off at gymnastics.

Librarians need a version of the Hells Angels to show up when their books are threatened.

How to put the Newbery award sticker on #Freewater without spoiling the beautiful cover, that is the question.

In the wake of a ban on Art Spiegelman’s MAUS, artist and writer @LeelaCorman wrestles with the importance of the iconic book—particularly the way it speaks to the descendants of survivors. tor.com/2022/04/05/on-…

@erinwert @maureenjohnson Do they make safety glasses for watering plants? Because they should.

@maureenjohnson MAUREEN !!!!!

I was lighted sedated this morning for a minor procedure. Came home. Everything perfect. Was watering plants in shower. Leaned over to pick them up and POKED MYSELF IN THE EYE on the spike of a snake plant and now have to go to City MD, is how today is going.

@ek_johnston It's true. That album was the only treatment I had for my anxiety from junior high to college. I CANNOT change the order.

@ek_johnston I have her Paint the Sky with Stars album somewhere because that was the order I first listened to the songs in and now I cannot hear them any other way.

@maureenjohnson MAUREEN.

I cut my eye on a PLANT.

@ShaunieDarko This is horrible news. How am I supposed to 2022 now?

The book is called The Cat's Paw. They wrote other mysteries as well! I am now more impatient to receive this poor delayed reprint, but I can wait.

I am still very excited to read the book though! It turns out it was written by a couple, Dorothy Blair and Evelyn Page, under the name Roger Scarlett. They are one of the first same sex couples to co-write mystery fiction.

I just got my fourth email about the publication date of a book I'd preordered changing. I was feeling terrible for the author and went to look them up so I could hype their book a bit--only to discover this is a reprint I am waiting for and the author is dead.

The library, and we cannot stress this enough, is a place of voluntary inquiry; students are not required to read books from the library. Additionally, no book is right for everyone, but one book can make a significant difference in one life. 🙄 #RightToReadTX
