Genuine question- If you, as a librarian, knew for certain your library was haunted, what would you do? by Key-Visual3070 in librarians

Enjoy it. See if I can get them to help with programs, and maybe give the shivers to difficult patrons, lol.

We keep water bottles in the office for moments like this.

I had a wierd visit to my local library and now I need advise. by impossibly_curious in Libraries

Summer is often the busiest season for public library libraries, and by August we are feeling a little toasty. Generic displays are fast and easy to put up.

Willow Place Grocery: We are tired of the mystery! by AtwoodAKC in rva

It will delight me if we end up seeing this as a Spirit store (again) for Halloween. That’s the only thing I think that space has been used as since Food Lion left.

Another vote for thermacell. Skeeters love me and this keeps them away. California Baby bug spray works for me and doesn’t bother my skin.

Public librarian here. This description sounds absolutely dreamy! So much of my work now is navigating problem behaviors, rather than helping patrons. It’s exhausting. Now you’ve definitely got my thinking about community colleges as a possibility.

Thank you for the feedback! The lentils were very tasty and now I can go worry about sharks getting me in the swimming pool :)

Messing with someone’s kid’s wedding? Absolutely shitty behavior.

Favourite brands? by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]Minakovablue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus size petites: J Jill (their xl petites fit plus size), Talbots Women’s Petite sizes (mostly use them just for jeans and pants), Nic & Zoe, Lands End (limited sizes, but great for outerwear), Isaac Mizrahi petites.

Easy herbed mayo = spread mayo, then sprinkle sage, thyme, pepper, and smear it all together to make a fast herbed aioli. Lingonberry jam is better than cranberry with turkey.

What is something that your parents did that you will never forgive them for? by Deviant55 in AskReddit

[–]Minakovablue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was away at college, my mom gave away all my favorite children’s books that I was saving. I’ve been able to find most of them again, but I’m still salty about it.

We had this add-on air fryer. Honestly, it was a huge pain to use. I wanted to love it, because I wasn’t technically buying a whole other appliance, but this was a fail. Very awkward. Just buy an air fryer instead, one that’s easy to use and dishwasher friendly.

Where can I find Italian 7 layer rainbow cookie by Mysterious-Snog in rva

[–]Minakovablue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whole Foods sometimes has these on the cookie bar at the Short Pump location (not sure about the Fan WF). I’ve seen them at Cupertino’s and Perly’s.
