Library 142 is home to two internet-famous pugs named Anouk and Toby. There was a giant Falkor head in the loft. It was queer. There was a bus of enthusiastic retirees. Also a yoyo. It was hard to leave.

Less a book, more-so chunks of scholarly essays about overlap between esotericism and class consciousness. Reads like a doctoral thesis is because it is one.
Not bad, not great. 📚

Just finished up this great YA graphic novel from fellow Vermonter Emma Hunsinger. HOW IT ALL ENDS (2024) is a funny and engaging book about an angsty teen with an overactive imagination, navigating early highschool, stumbling into her first queer crush. Terrific art and storytelling. 👍🏼
