“…she stopped paying close attention to his words and when at red lights, examined the rain drops spattering on the windshield so intently that she almost stared right through them. Each drop seemed stuck on the glass, until another drop landed on it and they rolled down the window together, ending in a climactic splash.”

I post and reblog: things I think are pretty, things that intrigue me, things I'm a fan of, and things I care about.

Common themes include: books, writing, movies, more books, cozy beds, breakfasts, Doctor Who, Sherlock, feminist issues, and occasional pieces of my life.

"WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Ensure that every child in America has access to an effective school library program.
Every child in America deserves access to an effective school library program. We ask that the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provide dedicated funding to help support effective school library programs. Such action will ensure more students have access to the resources and tools that constitute a 21st century learning environment. Reductions in school library programs are creating an ‘access gap’ between schools in wealthier communities versus those where there are high levels of poverty. All students should have an equal opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to learn, to participate, and to compete in today’s world." —

The librarians need 11,000 more signatures on this petition…

Leave a friendly note on the desk and ask them to follow you :)) it will be a cute lil game to find out who each other is!

Oh, maybe.

Not sure how connected I want my tumblr to be to my job, is all…



Just discovered that someone else who sometimes works the Reserves Desk at the library (which I am currently staffing) has a tumblr—it automatically sent me to their dashboard when I went to tumblr.com.

I was immediately scandalized that I’d accidentally gotten access to someone else’s account and logged out without even trying to figure out whose it was.

And on that note: I wonder whose it was?




American Library Association statement on the seizure of the Occupy Wall Street library

“The dissolution of a library is unacceptable. Libraries serve as the cornerstone of our democracy and must be safeguarded. An informed public constitutes the very foundation of a democracy, and libraries ensure that everyone has free access to information. “
