Running a scavenger hunt at our public library where kids find an egg that has a joke inside. They bring it to the desk to read to us and get a prize. Y'all gotta get your kids off these iPads or something bc I have never met so many kids who don't know what a knock knock joke is. #publiclibraries

I love the two #publiclibraries I have access too!! We don’t talk about how many resources they provide in addition to books. Right now I have a #radondetector checked out. I get free #naloxone to keep in my first aid kit every year. And there is so much more I’ve yet to utilize. #publiclibrary

Library 184: Champlain College Library Do something with your life that would make a 1950’s straight white man angry.

At Library 184 on my quest to knit in every public and academic library in Vermont I thought about the fate of higher ed, gender and crafts, planting trees, and beavers. 28 left to go!

Join us for Teen Game Night at 6 p.m. in the Teen Space, where just now Zoe H. (new Youth Services Librarian) has discovered every single game box in the gaming closet is filled with—you guessed it!—more soil.
More.
Fucking.

Another win from the library! Asian Pickles by Karen Solomon is going to be my next used book purchase after borrowing it from the library. I think this is the fourth cookbook we have discovered through the library that we have decided we want to own it forever. #cookbook #pickles #PublicLibraries

Just finished ‘Second Chance Duet’ by #chicago author Ana Holguin and it’s a delight! The Winnetka Public Library has your copy, and if your local library doesn’t own it, ask them to purchase. Libraries are big buyers of books!

I wish more citizens would consider how even MORE difficult it would be without public libraries to be a place for free activities for kids, especially if we remain a country that stupidly does 3 month summer breaks. #YouthServices #PublicLibraries

DEFINITELY getting a hint of the activity to come this summer! Main school district doesn't have school today and everyone is here being loud. I'm adjusting! #PublicLibraries #YouthServices

An old microfiche/film reader in front of a black curtain.

Public computers are currently down at the Main Branch. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The microfiche reader plods on, as per usual. Can we interest you in a very old newspaper, an obscure government document, or an out-of-print genealogy book?

AWE early literacy station in a public library where the screen image doesn’t fill the screen.

Does anyone out there know how to fix my AWE early literacy station screen so the images fill it again? A child pressed all kinds of buttons and I don’t know how to get it back. Manual not helpful. #PublicLibraries #SaturdayLibrarian
