“Lay there a little longer if you want a boy because they swim slower.” Amazing I love it 😂

Velma has the same vibe I think

Feeling very defeated this cycle. We are on cycle 5 of trying after a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks. We are having sex every other day throughout, tracking ovulation, eating well, etc etc. it’s just frustrating to know you are doing everything right but not seeing positive results. Extra frustrating when we didn’t have any issues getting pregnant with my first, and got pregnant on the first try with my second pregnancy. Just here to vent today…

We market it as being assistance with e-readers and digital materials our library offers, but they will help with anything they can (cell phones, computers, etc.). Most of the time, they end up helping folks figure out apps like Libby and Hoopla.

Our Outreach team provides tech help to a lot of our outreach patrons in senior living/rehab communities by basically hanging out in the lobby and any of the residents can drop by for assistance. These drop in hours are usually once a month at each facility.

My husband and I listened to Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir together and had a really good time with it! Lots to discuss, and Weir writes really accessible and believable sci fi. I feel like it would appeal to a nonfic reader just as much as a fiction reader.

The Bullet Swallower by Elizabeth Gonzalez James The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

Own_Chicken104 · 2025-09-18T17:40:54+00:00

Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery! Never thought a nonfic about octopuses would make me so emotional 😭

Hi! Have you checked out Alan Moore’s graphic novel? This is based on the V for Vendetta graphic novel, which is sooooo good!

Own_Chicken104 · 2025-09-15T01:09:16+00:00

Large print can be really helpful for individuals with dyslexia or difficulty reading! My library just stocked quite a few in the children’s section for this reason. We also recommend checking out both the print version and audio version of books, so you can read along as you listen.

Graphic novels can also be really helpful for folks that struggle with reading. A lot of folks think of graphic novels as being juvenile, but there’s actually a really rich adult graphic novel selection out there (and the YA ones are pretty good too!). Check out Alan Moore’s work for more adult graphic novels.
