The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

A little Roman octopus to wish you a happy week! 🐙❤️ From a Roman villa mosaic at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, AD 100-200. Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology
My photo shows a mosaic fragment from the floor of a Roman villa in Spain, dated AD 100-200s. It depicts a stylised octopus using red, yellow, white, and black limestone tesserae, against an off-white background. The front-facing octopus appears almost cartoon-like, with a large red and white head and body outlined in black. Its yellow circular eyes are outlined in black with a central black dot which stare out at the viewer. Below the head and body are eight writhing arms.

This octopus and other fragmentary animal mosaics were discovered in the 19th century at the Hermitage of Santa Colomba, Villaquejida, León, which had been built on the site of a Roman villa.

If Odysseus had spent less time on forever wars in Troy and more time on issues affecting white working-class citizens of Ithaca, then maybe Penelope's suitors wouldn't have tried to kill him.

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the capybaras, for today is their special day! For Capybara Day, here's an engraving from the book ' The Illustrated Natural History' (1863) by J. G. Wood. 📷 Reserve 590.2/WOO #CapybaraAppreciationDay #NationalCapybaraDay #CapybaraDay #RareBooks
Engraving of a capybara, standing in side profile next to a body of water, as if poised to dive in. Its coat is glossy and it wears an expression of supreme calm, as only a capybara is capable of. A second capybara is in the water and swimming straight towards the first capybara. The caption underneath reads: 'Capybara - Hydrocharus Capybara'.

#FrescoFriday - Haven't done one in a while, so here's an old favourite. A delicately painted pastel-like panel of a woman holding an askos, seemingly decanting perfume or oil into a small container. From Casa Farnesina, ca. Late 1st Century BC. #Art 🏺 Image: Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Massimo
A woman clad in a double-fold peplos is seated upon a stool, the legs of which taper to a decidedly fragile-looking foot. Her arms are bare as she concentrates on decanting liquid into a small flask (aryballos).
