What we’re talking about when we talk about backlogs. Want to discover more historical content? Fund technical services positions and project staff. These are not internship projects, this is not student work. Managing big collections requires staff.

When will I learn to stop reading series that aren’t completely written/published!! Waiting for book 4 is going to be torturous. 😫 #booksky 💙📚

Collection development is my favorite activity. New acquisitions by Puerto Rican-born composer and multi-instrumentalist Angélica Negrón featured here. 🇵🇷 #newmusic #womencomposers #musiclibrary

Dear music publishers and composers: I implore you to stop using comb bindings. Did you know that many libraries won’t purchase works with comb bindings? They rip the pages. To rebind, we need more room in the margin. Cutting off the comb results in loss of clef, time signature, and key at minimum.

Dark urban fantasy, filled with Slavic folklore. It’s a short read - a beautiful novella teeming with regret. #BookSky 💙📚

Oooh, this was a slow, dark, lonely, grief-laden story. So many beautiful moments. #booksky 💙📚

High Jinks - implies the existence of low jinks, average jinks. Perhaps even simply “jinks”

Václav Hálek, the mushroom composer. The Musical Atlas of Mushrooms: How mushrooms sing contains scores of 42 songs. Hálek said that he did not compose songs for the mushrooms, rather he “heard” the mushroom’s music. A mushroom medium 🍄 #fungifriends
