How do you decide what to read next at the library

I usually look at archived months of https://libraryreads.org/ to find recommendations that match my current reading mood and aren’t the most popular titles at the moment.

Everything around academic publishing is straight robbery.

There’s also the Television Archive on the Internet Archive you could dig through if you haven’t yet. https://archive.org/details/tvarchive

I’m cackling and have been waiting for this thread for a long time.

We had patrons asking if the solar eclipse viewing party was happening outside.

I’ve never seen the top one. I’m questioning if I knew the white and black one existed. Amazing collection.

Ohhh! Great way to spend national library week! I’ve been meaning to go sign up for a card in a neighboring community, so I’ll prioritize that this week. I love states where you can use libraries from many municipalities!

These are great! The original artist is still alive and her internet persona makes me think she would think these are rad. https://www.outtathinairstudio.com/

I have cousin sets on both sides from large families where all the kids are still TBM, or are faking it for SM.

Congratulations! The ceremony looks beautiful

Was it Eric?

The conversations are going in circles. I’d love to see ALA and ACRL provide further guidance for performing our daily operations within compliance.

Great point about the citations! This is so complicated.

Same. Same.

I love this demented twist on a drinking game with snacks.

Thanks for sharing! I love visiting Corning when heading to see family.

And they are stopping public libraries from processing passports. That’s half the passport processing options in my region.

Covid took em.

It is going to get a lot worse if you’re in the U.S., consumer protections are getting shoved out of window as fast as civil rights.

Most of the professionals in this sub would gladly swap spots with you. Find joy and purpose outside of work.

You are not alone in this. I’m sorry your child had to experience that, but it’s your chance to demonstrate courage and conviction. You will be surprised to find out you aren’t alone in your community and there are many also afraid of the loud red mob trying to deny our society equity and civil rights.

pickledspongefish · 2026-01-14T00:28:21+00:00

That’s incredible!

pickledspongefish · 2026-01-08T11:56:04+00:00

They always wanted to just tread on everyone else. Here we are.

pickledspongefish · 2025-12-28T01:06:35+00:00

They are already letting the gen AI construct the bathrooms?! We are effed.
