when i have a crush i dont kick my feet or twirl my hair instead i am in my kitchen at 3am pacing in circles with my hands clasped behind my back like a middle-aged divorced detective haunted by a cold case he just cant crack

What Do Library Staff Do All Day?

Sometimes we weed books and other items!

We weed our collections using different criteria including shelf space, circulation stats, and condition. Here are examples of two items that we weeded for poor condition yesterday — the book for (a LOT of) water damage and the DVD for being so scratched up that it would no longer play correctly.

While we're on the subject, please please PLEASE remember to take good care of items that you check out from the library. When items are damaged, we need to weed them from our collections. Unfortunately, we can't always afford to replace them until we have enough money in our budget ... and if the damaged items are out of print, then we can't replace them at all!

Throughout the story Lily struggles to find her way in the world without recreating the patterns of violence from her childhood. Now that Lily has started a new life, Lily meets a guy named Ryle and falls in love with him.

I was shelving the books by the first letter of the first sentence. - Good Omens, 2x02

"It was a nice day. All the days had been nice. There had been rather more than seven of them so far, and rain hadn't been invented yet. But clouds massing east of Eden suggested that the first thunderstorm was on its way, and it was going to be a big one." - Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

Middle School Monday: Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time by Gabriela Epstein

Danny Phantom is half human and half ghost. He does what he can to keep his world safe, but time itself seems to be glitching, and his powers aren’t working the way that they should. Can he get to the Ghost Zone and figure out what’s going wrong, before it’s too late? He’s going to need the help of his friends, his family, and even his arch nemesis to get this done!

Give this graphic novel to older kids and younger teens who are fans of the Danny Phantom animated series from Nickelodeon, as well as any readers who enjoy superhero stories that are fast, funny, and full of surprises!

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

Sir Terry Pratchett: on writing Good Omens with Neil Gaiman

I love the whole interview but this little snippet most of all:

Terry: “You can usually bet, and I’m sure Neil Gaiman would say the same thing, that, uh, if I go into a bookstore to do a signing and someone presents me with three books, the chances are that one of them is going to be a very battered copy of Good Omens; and it will smell as if it’s been dropped in parsnip soup or something in and it’s gone fluffy and crinkly around the edges and they’ll admit that it’s the fourth copy they’ve bought”.

You can never own enough Good Omens copies.

Once again it is time for bed (aka reading time), and I finished the book I was reading last night and forgot to select a new one today. Time to stand forlornly in front of my shelves.
