So, I guess crawling around on my hands and knees and sniffing bookshelves to find out what that funky smell is counts as “other duties as assigned,” right?
Curse me and my excellent nose.

When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.

Got a case of the Mondays? I recommend a dose of my library’s book cart dance team to cheer you up. Enjoy!

I got to spend part of my excellent anniversary weekend at the ever-stunning New York Public Library. Somehow, even though I have next to no sense of direction, I am always able to find my way back to this building when I visit good old NYC. I love visiting it every single time!

- May, by Kathryn Lasky

- The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott, by Kelly McNees
- The Mayday, by Bill Eidson

Watching a movie, eating chocolate pie, and having a good discussion with 48 other people at my library last night = warm fuzzies. I love working at a place that works so hard to be a gathering place for our community.

Nieces and nephews make the best library customers, don’t you think?

My library is currently hosting an amazing traveling museum exhibit about Abraham Lincoln, and we got to hang out with Mr. Lincoln himself this past weekend. That, plus a concert by the Federal City Brass Band, made for a great Saturday at the library. Next weekend, we’ll have a Civil War encampment on our lawn!
Check out the rest of the library’s photos here!

On Display: Let Freedom Ring
Suggested titles: Hit the easy button and show off books with red, white, and blue covers. OR showcase your American history section. OR offer up a salute to the armed forces with titles about soldiers past and present. However you want to celebrate Independence Day, customers will enjoy!
I hope that you’re all off celebrating the holiday with your friends and family!
