The two cutest foster kittens we’ve ever had, & the only two who don’t seem to bother our senior kitty, are also the only two who DO NOT CARE THAT I EXIST BECAUSE THEY ARE OBSESSED W MY PARTNER 😂
Here they are snuggling him, all the time

My annual Follett Destiny cost has increased by nearly THIRTY PERCENT!?!?!?! from last year to this year!?!?!
What is going on with these prices? Do vendors realize library budgets don’t get those kind of increases (if they get any!) each year?!?!

Getting our December makerspace prepped… it’s a Gift Making & Wrapping station!
I tried it for the first time last year & it was a big hit so I’m trying it again this year. It will be a fun thing for kids to come back to after thanksgiving break!

I’ve had these foster kittens for like 3 months (the shelter is backlogged due to low adoption volume the last month, so I haven’t been able to take them back in yet)
How am I supposed to give them up after having them this long? 😩

If anyone’s looking for a cozy sitcom to binge, we just fell into The Neighborhood & it is delightful.
We don’t have regular cable anymore so we often miss new shows & apparently missed this one for 7 years straight which means we now get to dive into a true binge 😂😂

Uh oh, for the last year Ive said “if Pandora snuggles any of the foster kittens we’ll know that’s the one to keep”
This is dangerously close to a snuggle & this is not the kitten I wanted to keep bcuz she is too smart & still a smidge feral. She’s gonna give us a run for our money if we keep her 😂

Our current foster kitten is doing her best to befriend our senior kitty Pandora. & Pandora is doing her best to tolerate this encroachment on her territory 😂
This is the first foster kitten (of 25 over the year) that she has tolerated on the bed with her lol. Progress

I’ve decided not to give out candy this year. It’s too expensive & I think the kids get more candy than they can eat
This year I’m doing packs of stickers & Pokémon cards (the cards are extras my partner has bought but doesn’t need lol)!

In my first year or so as a school librarian a student told me I “was just like Andy Dufresne” in how I came in & revitalized the library
It was one of the quirkiest & sweetest compliments I’ve gotten

I’m trying to get myself back into social media but no matter which platform I try it’s just all bad news, all the time
I don’t think I can function if my brain is being constantly flooded w bad news.
Frustrating. I miss the sense of community I used to get out of socials but phew it’s rough

I’m so excited to have gotten an ARC of Soman Chainani’s upcoming YA book, Young World.
It sounds like a book that my high school students are going to love, & which will be very easy for me to booktalk (bcuz it sounds so good!)
& I’m tickled to find page 1 starts in St. Louis, MO! #aasl

If AI ruins & destroys Wikipedia, a resource that I genuinely believe to be one of mankind’s greatest achievements, so help me god I will lose it
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”
