Just visited a restaurant that had this framed photo of the National Library of Thailand hanging in the restroom. All other restaurants in the area need to step their game up

Sometimes the librarians leave the library and if you see them you are required to say “hey I love the library!” Just fyi

Ran into a library patron I hadn't seen in 6 years and she immediately started reminiscing about a program "back then" that she found meaningful and when I tell you that made my day 🥹🥹🥹 I love being a library

We have a "Can AI write poetry?" workshop coming up, and I was thinking about breaking my no-AI rule to create a lead image for the promotion. So I prompted Adobe's image generator: "Can AI write poetry?" Guys, are we sure AI is computers and not cats? Maybe AI is cats.

Also don’t judge a library by its posting 🙏

It’s cool that “don‘t judge a book by its cover” is the figure of speech for not judging by appearances. Like, that could have been anything. Don’t judge a nut by its shell. Don’t judge an orange by its peel. But we got it. Books are the best.

Big shout out to the librarians at the Albany Public Library @albanynylibrary.bsky.social While always fabulous, today they spent almost an hour w my partner and I queuing up the next series for our nightly read-alongs with the little, who is not so little anymore. Here’s my pick:

The cover of Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston.

A sitcom called “Books” about working in a bookstore being filmed in Troy??? Is someone reading my diary? Are they in love with me? Do they owe me something? The world is… good?

So, um guys, I think I'm a millionaire?! Got word from Upper Hudson Library System that you all borrowed over ONE MILLION items through Libby this year. One million. I feel like Scrooge McDuck swimming through piles of ebook checkouts. Well done Albany people 🙌🙌🙌

So I just had this great idea. You come to the library. Check out a movie. Make some popcorn. Then watch the movie while eating your popcorn. I’m calling it Movie Night While Eating Popcorn. I think I’m onto something here.

I have received grainy footage with the intel that this past weekend’s Disney on ice performance began with Belle skating around reading a book followed by a big library reveal. Well done and thank you Mickey Mouse 🫡

Starting a business called “Crime” just so every other week I can look my employees right in the eye and say “would you look at that, it seems that crime does pay”
