In my house, "Oh No!" is always followed by "What did the rabbits do now?" Today it was Ghost trying to eat flowers from a vase and then attacking baseboards.

I will post more about the displays recently up at my library but I love this series. What are books season? Anything and everything. You can assign the display to staff who are Libras or just use it to promote books that need some love

THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT is out today! In 1994, three girls go to the movies to see an obscure film. Only one comes out. 30 years later, the survivor learns the movie isn't done with her yet. Now playing in a bookstore near you 😈📽️ www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827994...

It's hard to work when this little gremlin of a rabbit is booping your foot to get attention. Stuffing is not conducive to getting work done.
