Dear lovelies, every day you inspire me. Like this lovely post from @my_weird_bookish_heart 💞🌸 You truly make the world a brighter place. 💫💖 #repost @my_weird_bookish_heart ・・・ 💫ɪ ɪs ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴀʀᴅᴇsᴛ ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴇғɪɴᴇ💫 -------------- ... I'll rant some more about all the exciting things happening in some other post but right now, I'll tell you about how I helped to rescue a library!📚 So a few days ago, a town near mine had been completely flooded and it was so so so extremely scary😭. The people there suffered a lot and the whole town turned upside down😖. A lot of people immediately offered help and the town is in better condition now that the water is gone. Our school sent about 30 of us students to go and help set their town library back in order. Their library was so rich in literature, with 50,000 books😱! But due to the flood, thousands of books were ruined😭. Our job, was to go through these ruined books and register them in a list so the librarians could at least try to get them back. But a lot of them were so so old that their copies aren't printed or sold anymore and couldn't possibly be restored😟. The ruined books were completely destroyed and most of them even had fungi growing on them😣. It was a pain to see books in such a bad condition.🤐 It's a huge loss to the town because when the town's books are taken away, a whole generation in the town is affected because books are what shape us.😔 We worked with them for 2 days and it was such an amazing experience to see and help out a post-flood town going back to its normality😯. I hope such great losses can be avoided in the future and I pray for all the libraries in this world, they need to be treasured🙏 Swipe for a few pictures!📷 ------------------ In the above picture I've stacked a pile of my favourite ya contemporaries!❤️ I'm a huge fan of ya contemporaries but a lot of them don't usually stand out to me- all of them seem the same after one point😅! But I absolutely loved the books above and they are my all time favourites 💓!

This is terrible! @seminolecountylibrary is a fantastic library system. They offer so many great programs for kids and teens. The used bookstore is a great place for me to get books for my classroom at an affordable cost! I love my library!!!! I’ll be sending some emails today! #savethelibrary

Today I️ got to visit ANOTHER library! So far we’ve visited the library in each town. I️ love libraries. This one has a BALLROOM IN IT. No kidding! #libraryGal #timeWellSpent #books #keepBooksAlive #saveTheLibrary #visitYourLibrary #fourStories

Then reblog this post to spread the word

Even though it premiered in December, TNT's The Librarians was well-received enough to make it the best cable premiere of 2014. I consider myself among its many fans for many reasons. 1. Quirky-cool characters: Almost everyone is their own distinct kind of nerdy but their various weirdnesses work together in a kind of cool synergy. Despite being nerdy, they are nonetheless very relatable characters (especially Cassandra (at least for me), whose neuroatypicality and potential queerness provide a representation combination TV desperately needs). 2. Interesting world/awesome job showed: I have always been a believer in magic and therefore really like the idea of a world where (once magic was released) magic runs wild and there's all sorts of artifacts floating around that can do things like sic fairy tales onto the real world. As well as said belief in magic, I am also a humanities nerd with a strong yearning to save the world which means being a Librarian would be an amazing job for me and every week I've been watching those episodes, just hoping that one day that little white envelope would come for me. Until then, I'll just watch this awesome team. 3. Good writing: It's not just the world these stories take place in that's awesome, its the stories themselves and the way they are written that contribute to the overall unique amazingness of this show. They're witty, cheesy (but with enough darkness and drama to not be campy) and yet somehow manage to tug at the heartstrings (e.g. the Christmas special). Also, the mystery of every episode calls back to mythology or fairy tales (or at least has so far), thus either providing a history/culture or bringing back people's childhood memories. 4. Filmed in my metaphorical backyard: I know this kind of sounds like a stupid selfish reason for wanting the show to stick around but it's not only set in Portland primarily, but actually filmed in Oregon and I can recognize several landmarks from my hometown in a few episodes (though they are "supposed to be" other places). This is important because not only does its Oregon filming provide an economic/visibility boost for an area that doesn't often get that kind of thing, but it allows Oregonians like me to believe for even a second that this world they show is real and there's magic on their proverbial doorstep and a team of badass mystery detectives/secret guardians within protecting distance of them and their family. And the main reason why it should be renewed (other than the reasons I stated above) is the fact that there is so much more they could cover without getting tiresome than could be covered in 10 episodes. From threads that need to be resolved properly (as in not rushed into a few episodes' time) like Dulaque's identity/history with Jenkins, Cassandra's apparent magic and Ezekiel's apparent immunity to most magic to threads that should be brought up properly like Ezekiel's backstory (besides just being a thief), Lamia's backstory/why she joined the Serpent Brotherhood, and Cassandra's backstory (though a bit has been revealed) to all the new kinds of mysteries they could investigate/artifacts they could find (like an idea I had for a future episode's Mystery-Of-The-Week is the team finding out the hard way that a famous urban legend is not only true, but linked to something far more powerful) In short, as Flynn does his best to save the Library on the show, so should we try our best to save its Annex in our universe (I call the show that because it's our entry into the world of the Library and the way we can uncover its secrets though the Library is inaccessible to us just like how the Portland Annex on the show can access all the information in the Library proper).
