You are my hero and I love you

Wish this were me rn

Yeah I find watching baseball (professional or otherwise) in person to be wayyyy more fun than on the tv. That being said the recent addition of the pitch clock does make things go much faster even on the tv imo

Fair fair. Do you feel the same way about baseball?

Do you personally dislike all sports or just football?

The city I work in prohibits the selling or giving away of city property so we aren’t allowed to sell them (and truly most of the time they are so old and crusty and yucky that no one would pay any amount of money for them), but if the quality of books is super high we sneakily donate them to More Than Words. That being said we do hold book sales stocked by donations from patrons and the proceeds go into our programming budget.

Hahaha that is hilarious!!

Probably the time I had a book come back with the pages taped back together in a completely random order. Created a wild ride of a story lol

Depends on the library and the type of book. Typical time frames are 10 years, 7 years, 5 years, or 2 years. For example I work in an busy urban library in the children’s room and we were running out of space in our fiction novel section so we did a 5 year then a 2 year when the first one didn’t make enough space. Our biography section grows less quickly so we do 7 year weeds.

It does! We gotta clear space on the shelves sometimes for new books :)

It is a blanket lol but it’s just throw size.

I had never considered printing on a shower curtain!! That’s hilarious and I will definitely be stealing that gift idea so thank you!

We Found a Hat! One of my favorite picturebooks.

I’ve had a mix of both but that is a good point

Probably election relation. 🤞for you that it calms down

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I will definitely use your feedback! For instance I hadn’t thought much about non-ISBNed content and will totally work on that!

Thank you for your perspective!

Definitely a reasonable critique but honestly I don’t plan to ever release it to the public, it’s really just for me.

I second Project Hail Mary

That is so valid and I’ve been considering doing something similar. What books API do you use? I tried various ones for a project a little while ago and was a bit disappointed in the data quality.

You could try asking your local Youth Services Librarian. They see so many books and often have some amount of research backgrounds. They also tend to LOVE this kind of mystery.
