Visiting the Fulwood Road/Tom Lane area of Sheffield, UK recently we came across an old phone box repurposed as The Hidden Library.
Some good reads in there, too.

I’m that library user that places like 99 titles on hold because I find Libbys tag list to be woefully inadequate for folks that have a complex TBR. The timeline feature/screen/tab is hell if you want to find something you previously checked out as well. #Libby #LibbyApp #Library #Libraries

A Short Stay In Hell. Steven Peck.

You just died, and the hell assigned to you - it’s temporary the demon explains- is an endless library that contains all the books that ever could be written, and all you have to do is find the book that describes your life; you initially muse that things could be worse, but are soon forced to reconsider that.

Visit a library, drink a lot of water, consumer a lot of literature. Be the datacenter.

I signed up for a Houston Public Library library card (free to anyone living in TX) because it gives free access to The NY Times and the WSJ.

But I also love seeing this at the very top level of their nav. You go HPL!!

My 6yr old got her glasses last week and she needs to wear them at all times. They're pink andcute and she looks adorable. She also loves to wear fun cardigans with her outfits, she calls them her "comfort cardi's".
Today the librarian told her she looks like the cutest librarian she'd eveer seen. Her reply?
With the most serious face she could muster. "I would never have let anything happen to the Library of Alexandria. Never."

Book cover for Homesick for a World Unknown: The Life of George B. Schaller by Miriam Horn. Image on cover shows a photo taken of a white male 1950s scientist named George who is wearing a very large backpack and sitting on a rock as he surveys the valleys and mountains ahead of him.

Book cover for The End of My Life Is Killing Me: The Unexpected Joys of a Cancer Slacker by Annabelle Gurwitch. Image on cover shows a drawing of a chick (as in a baby chicken) who is stretching it’s wing and leg in a yoga pose with one wing and one leg pointed straight up in the air as the bird lies down.

Post but Elizabeth Queen of the North

Overheard in the library: "you have 15 books! 15! We are coming back later
this week, it will be okay."
9 year old girl: "You don't know that. Something could happen. These are my emergency books."

The urge to keep all the tabs open is not a recent thing.
Pictured: a 300-year-old library tool that enabled a researcher to have seven books open at once, yet conveniently nearby (Palafoxiana Library, Puebla)
