We just hosted two exuberant, delightful pre-literacy playgroups on a sunny, cold April Michigan morning. And now a fiber arts group who will chat, laugh and knit/crochet all afternoon is moving in. #publibs #skybrarians

Hi, may I ask for help? I have an interview for a head library associate, all the librarian positions are full, and maybe wanted to switch up the clothing.

Should I wear my dark suit jacket or can I mix it up with a Barela knit jacket with a tie and suit pants? See photo #publibs #librarysky

I wonder how universal it is in librarianing to mention the name of the first book in any series and have dematerialize from the library you're in because you've said it aloud?

I mean, I have studies been done?

A picture of a hoodie is cropped to highlight the text and logos on the front. The hoodie fabric is grey, and the text reads, "FREE PEOPLE READ FREELY" in all caps. Below that are the words Freedom to Read Foundation and ALA American Library Association depicted as logos. The font for, "FREE PEOPLE" is all black. The font for, "READ FREELY" is made up of letters in a variety of colors.

The #library30 Photo Challenge prompt for Day 6 is "favorite sweater". It turns out my favorite sweater is actually a hoodie; a hoodie to remind us that, "Free People Read Freely". That's an important message, especially now! #libraries #library #librarylife #skybrarians #publibs

Made a batch of Pitt memes for my library branch. Of the 5, this one might be my favorite (if you can’t laugh at yourself and all that).

ALA Elections ALA Election Information

Voting for ALA Elections ends tomorrow, 4/1. If you haven't voted already, I hope you'll consider voting for me for GNCRT president. I will reemphasize defending comics from book bans, reaffirm GNCRT support for Canadian comics librarianship, and address AI concerns.

When people donate popular books in really good condition, we often use them as replacements for our worn-out copies. I've added *so many* replacements these past few weeks!

Only one book in this image was an actual purchase!

A patron from another county was asking about registering their card at our library, and I told them Minnesota’s policy was one card to rule them all (i.e. you use the card from your home county and register it at any other Minnesota county).

Couldn’t not.

Real change often starts with small, thoughtful shifts in how we work and support one another. If you’ve found ways to reduce burnout, strengthen your team, or create a more sustainable and humane workplace, your experience can help others do the same.

Last year BOOM! Studios removed their #comics from Comics Plus, and now they appear to have removed them from Hoopla, as well.

This is not good for #library readers. This is not good for accessibility.

Not sure if PRH wants to stop simultaneous use or digital lending altogether.

Dark Regards cover

Dark Regards cover

Comedian, musician, and hoaxer Hill and artist Topilin (I Hate This Place) tell the “extreme and brutal” and not-quite-true tale of Hill’s experience becoming the king of black metal and igniting an international incident. Based on a story often told by Hill, the book presents a fictionalized, down-on-his-luck Dave deciding to start a black metal band after a dark figure comes to him in a dream. Before his band is even assembled, Dave sends an email to a label of Norwegian black metal bands, challenging their egos and sending their darkest and most satanic members, battle axes in hand, on a mission to destroy Dave. Lovingly lampooning the black metal scene, Hill’s script is full of darkly funny characters with running gags that will likely elicit chuckles. This works in tandem with Topilin’s art, which is full of memorable character designs and occasional gags in the panels, such as amusing album names. There is some meandering before this comedy reaches its conclusion, but adult fans of metal and beyond will find it worth the journey and very CVLT.
