Child 1 (carrying over board game to table): “Wanna be my friend?”
Child 2: “Sure!”
Child 1: “Let’s play!”
The simplicity of children when they’re not encumbered by the ridiculousness of adults. Truly. 🥰

Report from the reference desk:
A student sits alone at a table, pencil in hand, bent over what appears to be a course workbook. He is laughing his head off. I can't IMAGINE what kind of workbook it is! I want to take whatever class he's taking. #LibraryLife
Some days my brain is just like "nope, we're gonna forget 75% of student names today. "
I feel like a failure when I have to ask for their names. CLEARLY I should know all ~550 by name and face!

If you’re not yet following author Alina Adams on Substack, her recent post “When the Universe Tells You What to Write Next—You Listen!” is worth a read. She gives a generous nod to A VISIT TO MOSCOW, illustrated by Yevgenia Nayberg: alinaa.substack.com/p/when-the-u...

It's spring break at my university and, this early in the morning, staff outnumber students by three or four to one. No one has even asked me if we're open today!

A man's feet are sticking out of a library's book drop, waving as if in distress. A woman is looking on. "Again, Larry? Really?"
If you want any Library Comic T-shirts, I'll be taking those out of the store read-something.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... in about a week to pack for the PLA conference. We likely won't have sizes completely stocked again until the end of April at least.

“Gratitude” is a word—like “groceries”—you don’t hear spoken very often anymore.
The Greatest Generation understood both.
#LibraryLife #Libraries #History
The men and women who fought in World War II became known as the Greatest Generation.
They endured depression, war, and sacrifice on a scale few generations have faced.
Remembering them is not nostalgia.
It is gratitude.

When you come to the library for “serious studying” but the WiFi connects automatically. 📚😤📱
This face says: I opened the tablet for research… and somehow ended up watching 17 videos about bananas. 🍌😂
Stay strong, little scholar. The books are judging you.

A parody of The Far Side, a single panel comic. Two cavemen. One has a scroll (he must be an early adopter). The other is carving a stone tablet. The second is talking: "Hardcover last longer."

A hand-drawn portrait of a cat, drawn on a whiteboard in erasable marker (Anonymous, 2026)
Happy Friday! Many thanks to the anonymous benefactor who graced our study room with this masterpiece of a cat portrait. We are all better because of it.
Have a great weekend!
