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.
