As a librarian who has had to work lots of circulation recently, I have developed what can only be described as manilaenvelopephobia. Person walks in with only a Manila envelope, this is never a good thing. #librarian@libraries
After an online training on #ReadersAdvisory for Millennials and Generation Z, I made a mega list on Libby called “Romantasy” and ended up needing arthritis cream on my wrist today with all the mouse work. Overdrive findability is tough. Metadata is scant. Neither author nor genre searches recovered most of these. It’s almost like they want to bury your old content licences. #Romantasy#LibbyApp#librarian#bookstodon#ebooks#curation @bookstodon @librarians
I'm a member of a Friends' Group (library by the cabin) and we want to do embroidered tote bags to sell. Does anyone have any recs for vendors, cost, quality? Any info will help!

"My hometown library is looking for a director and the deadline is tomorrow! I posted this earlier, but here it is again. They have a brand new building and if you're looking for a small(ish) town setting, this might be your jam"
If you are a #Librarian, are associated with #Libraries, or just simply a patron: go forth and bring this to the attention of the powers that be at your local library:
Actively Anti-Racist Service for Reader course through Learn with NoveList is open for enrollment!
Learn who you can--and why you should--participate regardless of where you are (librarians in red states: this is for you!)
#AntiRacism with Robin Bradford and Becky Spratford
Noting that I myself am not a #Librarian (though my mother was), as a reader I have to say: listen to Becky Spratford on the importance of the backlist, and how to put those books in the hands of the people who'll love them.
#introductions Hi! 👋 I'm John and I'm an academic #librarian in #LosAngeles where I head up my library's outreach and engagement team. I've been working in libraries for about 15 years.
I love spending time #gardening, listening to podcasts, wine tasting (read: drinking), reading, and being with my family.
We might buy a piano soon.
I was an avid user of the bird site since 2007 but stopped posting over a year ago. I miss the community of library folk I found there. 😢
Of Love and Libraries is a sweet second chance romcom which smells like books, cinnamon and apple cider. It is the story of two women who reconnect after decades.
Is there #library or #librarian mastodon? University of Alberta is looking for an "Indigenous Engagement Librarian"
If you know someone who might fit in this role, please send this or apply and come work with me (their office will be right next to mine) #librarians#librarianship
