Miscelmania

One of my favourite parts of cataloguing is opening up a book and seeing its secrets. For example, this book has different endpapers in the front and back of the book. At the front, we have ninjas, cowboys, superheros, and other "masculine" figures doing independent activities. In the back, they are all getting support and love from their fathers.

So how will this effect libraries, who have made it something of a mission in the last twenty years to close the “digital divide.”  Can we argue that defunding or underfunding libraries is an act designed to “intentionally prevent or disrupt access to our dissemination of information online”?  For many people, especially in disenfranchised groups or small/remote communities, the library is their internet access point, beyond providing storytimes and the latest James Patterson.

Deaccessioning my childhood. But seriously, what child born in 2008 would even dream of picking up this book out of context? #librarylife #weeding

In June, we weed. #schoollibrarylife #weeding

Or, “that part of Marie Kondo’s book that I skipped.”

(I didn't have the heart to correct her, I was too busy trying to keep a straight face.)

Why did I wait so long to use a mechanical pencil? This one is amazing and worth every penny.

I woke up today feeling literally sick with exhaustion. So I decided to accessorise my outfit (essentially fancy pajamas) with this vintage bookworm pin. #killingit #librarylife
