From your friendly librarian: please, please don’t make books, reading, or visits to the library a punishment OR a reward. It’s not as effective as you think it is, and it damages the relationship your child can build with us. Literacy is a birthright.
Today is stressful: Internet is down at work, I seem to have lost my Spanish computer vocabulary, & it’s so hot in here my eyelids are sweating. Send adorable pet pics pls

“”This ruling affirms that reading joyful, sometimes silly books to children is not misconduct—it’s education,” Price said.”

Another #libfaves25 for me is THE COUNTRY UNDER HEAVEN
by Frederic S. Durbin. Familiar landscapes rendered w/ an otherworldly pen in this post- Civil War picaresque. Soldier Ovid roams the American West only to encounter liminal beings and strange sights as he helps those he encounters.

SISTER, SINNER by Claire Hoffman chronicles Aimee Semple McPherson's rise as a Pentecostal preacher. But it's also the mysterious tale of Aimee's disappearance and eventual return, then put on trial for faking her own kidnapping. A captivating profile of early 20th C. fame & folly. #LibFaves25

Welp, I started the year reading what I though was science fiction: REKT by Alex Gonzalez. Now that the year is over I feel it might become science reality (I'm wincing too!) Mix a little unresolved grief with AI and revenge, then shake.

RAISED BY GHOSTS by Briana Loewinsohn: a poignant semi-autobiography on her struggles to connect & her absent family. Written as a journal/scrapbook, the notes and ephemera from the 1990s evoke a distinct sense of place while connecting readers to lasting adolescent truths. #LibFaves25
