I have made 1767 loans from my local library since I moved here 16 years ago. 652 were reservations and 7 were requests from other libraries. #LocalLibrary #Libraries #LibrariesRule #Reading #ReadersOfMastodon #LibrariesOfMastodon

A little while before Covid, I had been doing some #Genealogy research in #StJoseph MO. When I asked the #library there for help with #newspaper lookups, they said they could not afford #Newspapers.com, because they had an extremely small budget.

In all of my time researching Genealogy, I had never run across that before.

#Missouri has enough problems #funding their #libraries. If they don't have these state funds, what more can they cut? 😥😡

The #GOP is full of vindictive fascists and liars, at every level. #Trump was never the disease, he was only the most prominent symptom of the vile and cruel sickness in the #Republican party.

Contrary to what they claim, #Republicans are not about defending #FreedomOfSpeech and the #Constitution. They simply want to be the #FourthReich.

An image in the style of a Nazi-era poster, of a Nazi soldier holding a Republican flag and wearing a Republican Elephant on his armband. His collar has dollar sign insignias on it. The meme text says, "It's not fascism when we do it."

What makes the library’s Special Collections ‘special’? An interview with Scott Libson ’06 M.A.R., the new Special Collections Librarian for the Divinity Library.

A smiling man wearing tortoise-shell glasses and an open collar checked pattern shirt. He has slightly graying hair, beard, and mustache. He has a high, academic forehead. He is standing in front of a large shelf of bound volumes of books in a library. He looks like he would be happy to help you find the book you're looking for.

Finally added to the homepage! Would have gone much more quickly if #Mastodon was one of the icons offered in the "social media links" tool. Had to artisanally hand-craft a row of icons like it's 2003 or something.

Quick poll, #Library fans:
❓ Do you know your library card number by heart?

How you know that your children’s librarian background is still alive and well: at 3:00 AM when you can’t sleep, finding yourself researching which translation of Pippi Longstocking is the best.

Four different versions of the covers of the children’s book, Pippi Longstocking

Just adding some # in the hope someone on the fedi knows. I don't know, but am now feeling invested in the answer.

I still love this picture from my old library! The moments when I got to "play" with the children, though few and far between, were precious to me. I miss it. #joy #happiness #childrenslibrarian #puppets #muppetface

A children’s librarian (me!) holding out an elephant puppet to a small toddler, who is taking it. I’m also making my muppet face (mouth wide open in a big smile)

Today is the last day of finals which means our library is nearly deserted. Here is the Day Missions Room in the Yale Divinity Library.

#yds #YaleDivinitySchool #LibrariesOfMastodon #Library #yale #ReadingRoom #LibraryCore

A large reading room with deep, luxurious wooden columns and paneling. Circular chandeliers, decorated in zodiac symbols hang from a high ceiling. Most notable is that two floors of shelving are exposed on either side of the room, accessible from stairs not visible in the photo. The second level overlooks the main room by balconies fenced with wrought iron. Long tables and leather chairs are in the middle of the room. A portrait is centered at the far wall over a bust of Dante. The room looks quiet, and comfortable, but still formal. You could lose yourself for a few pleasant hours perusing books on the shelf or delving deeply into your research.

The Biblioteca Joanina Library and the Palace Library in Portugal both employ bats to help protect their rare book collection from pests such as bookworms and silverfish. How cool is that?

Today’s I’m just curious question. Are there any #libraries on mastodon? My library is on social media sites I don’t use anymore so I was curious if any are active on here and how it’s going. & if I should recommend it to them.

(Edited to make my intention clearer)

A small paperback book titled “Bigfoot Observer’s Field Manual: a practical and easy to follow step by step guide to your very own face to face encounter with a legend” by Robert W. Morgan.

@IcySedgwick Oh how nice!
Makes me nostalgic for the old #Penzance public library (sadly it moved to less airy premises shortly after this April 2015 photo)
