Ten years ago today the Boonton Holmes Public Library let me run with the idea of starting a baby story time program. I couldn’t have imagined this trajectory… started a library nonprofit, got a MLS, run a school library, interview authors, and write about books and library land #grateful

Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone when you're reading, they love when you bring your kids over, and they'll even let you borrow their hardcovers

The self-checkout thing in particular…they don’t want kids to be independent in any capacity. The library is a place my kids know they can exercise autonomy; they pick the books, they put them on THEIR cards, they check them out. It’s a little independence lab, and that can’t be allowed

I will often buy flowers for the circ desk because they make me happy. I guess I’m sharing the joy, bc so many people have stopped to smell/touch the flowers this year. Everyone should have a little beauty in their day ❤️

It’s been interesting to see whose mind immediately went to Rocky Horror and whose mind immediately went to Muppets and whose mind immediately went to Clue and whose mind immediately went to SPAAAACE and on and on and on because no matter what age you are he’s iconic and very special to you

the thing about public libraries is that they are—or at least many of them are—the one unrestricted public space in which children are treated with something approaching full civic equality with all other people. And they sense that. Our children’s room is the liveliest space in our library. 📚
