cute fact of the day: the smallest bird in the world, the bee hummingbird of cuba, is known in spanish as a zunzuncito. ("zun" being the sound, so akin to "lil' buzzbuzz.") say it out loud and your day cannot help but get better.

Did not expect Best Little Whorehouse in Texas to be one of the most delightfully wholesome movies I've seen in ages. God have mercy on my soul, indeed. </3 <3

If you want an interesting break from the adult world, ask a roomful of little kids what you should be when *you* grow up. Today: "a hamburger" and "a butterfly." (age: 3.)

Sure, why not. I'll do as few posts as possible so as not to spam the skyline. 1) outside of storytime material, probably Soul Music. 2) nope. trick question. next. ;) 3) mix of historical fiction, fantasy/light scifi, fascinating nonfiction, and queer YA. 4) see above. plus the sale racks.

We'll be closed on July 3, but not July 4. Independence Day may be a federal holiday, when the library is normally closed, but apparently that doesn't apply when it's on a Saturday. So we can close July 3 for July 4 Observed, but we'll be there on July 4. o.O

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
