Sir, I'm sorry that you don't have a home. But pulling your pants down and sitting with your bare, dirty ass on library furniture gets you kicked out.

I was thinking about this one library patron today. She complained some time ago that we didn't purchase a new book by a Christian author (I can't remember who), and she said, "It's those books that bring people in here!
I'd say it's actually murder, smut, and manga 👀

Today at the library: soothed a freaked out adjunct, forced a GAI to hallucinate for a colleague, talked folks into reading a favorite book, read so many book reviews, was the wrong woman with glasses, and assured someone that the library really is the whole building.

My favorite library question to answer:
Patron: Is there a limit on how many books I can check out?
Me: Arm strength. We don't limit the number of books you can check out at a time!

I caught myself on the brink of saying, "Anne Brontë is the tits," to a class of English majors today so, I dunno, maybe I should consider teaching a literature class in the future.
I also mocked Hamlet, as is my wont.

I made a starter pack of people in libraries and/or library adjacent. There are some great folks here, but not nearly enough! So, if you'd like to be included or recommend someone, send me a note (same if you want me to take you off!). #library #libraries #librarylife go.bsky.app/1fQ7r9

One of my library aides wants to try and host a counted cross stitch program, and I was her 'never done this before' guinea pig. I'm now 3 days in, and I think she's lost hope in my crafting abilities.

Watching “Tron:Ares” at work (for the library movie day). This is terrible.
What I wish I was watching? Anything else. (We just shelved “Somnium”; why can’t I show that? SIGH) #Movies #LibraryLife

Very fitting to have my last day at the place I've worked for 12 years end how it started- closing one of the libraries. Also fitting that after getting to my car with the last of my stuff I had to go back because I left my house keys in the office when leaving behind my work keys xD #LibraryLife
