Unexpected library night shift meets unexpected chocolate chip cookies on the break room table = a slightly happier about the whole thing library worker

julesG Your library is open at night??? Wow. 🤯 Here they start telling you it's closing time at 6.30pm (they close at 8pm). They used to be open Mon-Sat from 11am to 5pm, but seem to have had a bit of a think during the pandemic (it's 10am-8pm now). 2y
Clwojick Is it open 24 hours?! 😱🤯😱🤯 (edited) 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, my branch only has one “late” night - where we close at 9pm. Otherwise it‘s 6pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends. Awesome to hear that they found funding for extra hours post pandemic - what a win for the community! 2y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Clwojick, I wish! I could keep vampire hours if that was the case 🧛‍♀️ but alas - I must mostly keep to the 9-5 lifestyle (depending on the shift I get - sometimes it‘s a 10-6 lifestyle and very occasionally a 1-9 lifestyle) 2y
julesG I'm actually not certain where the funding for local libraries is coming from. I assume it's out of the local government pockets and the coffers for education have been fuller since the lockdowns. 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, here local government funds the majority of public libraries with a little help from State government (maybe some federal funding too - but that might be more for the state libraries) 2y

#WinterReadathon #DailyChallenge (Day 22)

Slowly trying to catch up on posts. My apologies for the bombardment of posts over the next few days. I am both a horrible cook & even worse baker.

My fave cookies, however weird🤪🙄this may be (‘cause I despise peanut butter due to texture issues) are🥁🥁🥁peanut butter cookies😂😂😂 Not the dry & crumbly messes either. I‘m partial to the soft & gooey ones with peanuts in them.

🎄: 20

Bklover 😂😂❤️ 2y
Andrew65 I‘m a good cook / baker but oh so messy with it 😂 (edited) 2y

“Small cookie excellent appetizer for bigger cookie.” Bernie agrees and he‘s wondering where his bigger cookie is🍪🐾

Super cute, short, uplifting read, especially if you‘re a fan of Cookie Monster.

“No cry because cookie is finished. Smile because cookie happened.” can easily be applied to Cookie‘s book. I smiled through every page. The Joy of Cookies is pure joy. And now me want cookies. 💙🍪💙

rabbitprincess Immediately added this to my to-read list 😂😋🍪 3y
DGRachel @rabbitprincess You won‘t be disappointed! And if you are, eat a cookie and you‘ll feel better. 🤣🤣 3y

I went to Park Road Books to pick up two books I‘d ordered and paid for, then walked out with four additional books. #bookstoremath The tagged book, though, may be my favorite book purchase this year. 💙🍪💙

vivastory I love the design of the tagged book🍪 Also, your math is 💯 accurate. I speak from experience. 📚📚📚 3y
DGRachel @vivastory The missing bite is perfect! I didn‘t realize that was how the book was designed and it makes me even happier than just having a cookie book by Cookie Monster. Also, I now officially have a book storage problem. No space on my shelves and no space in my house for new shelves. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3y

Book 5/9 for #MarvellousMarch Wonderful little book with recipes and little bits of wisdom like this

DGRachel Cookie Monster has a cookbook?!? Why am I just now hearing about this?? Must go order cookie book!! 3y
julesG What @DGRachel said! 3y
MatchlessMarie @DGRachel There are a couple recipes but mostly Cookie Monster witticisms. I love it 😂 Some other good ones are : “when life give me lemons, me ask if anyone got recipe for lemon cookies” and “No matter what they take from me, they no take away my cookie. Because me eat it!” 3y

DGRachel I am totally here for the life lessons. I had one at my desk in the office that was “today me will live in the moment, unless it is unpleasant in which case me will eat a cookie” (oh and I totally ordered the book at 2 am. 🤣🤣 3y
Andrew65 Great 👏👏👏 3y

@catiewithac You didn‘t have to send me cookies! 😱😍 I know you didn‘t get a chance to send your Christmas baked goods...but you sent me *so many* other wonderful things! Totally unnecessary & totally appreciated.

Adam was convinced that he was forbidden from eating them — even though I *always* share my snacks. 😅🤷‍♀️ We split a buttercream frosted cookie & it was delicious! Thank you so much!

Librariana Aww! How special! 🥰 4y

Bits Woah, weird/cool to see Cheryl's cookies on Litsy! I grew up just a couple miles from their headquarters. 🤩👍 Are they a thing outside of central Ohio?? My mind is blown. 4y

catiewithac @monalyisha I‘m glad you enjoyed them! You NEEDED cookies!!! 😁 4y
aperfectmjk @Bits I know, it is weird. I'm from southwest Ohio just north of Cincinnati, Cheryl's is known here, but not exactly easy to obtain 4y
aperfectmjk @Bits oops... hit enter on accident. I was going to add that we generally have to order online. 4y
Bits @aperfectmjk We are lousy with Cheryl's in Columbus. Guess I'm spoiled! 🤣🍪😍 4y
quietjenn Yum! I grew up with Cheryl's cookies, but haven't had them in ages. Maybe I'll have to do an order ... 4y
monalyisha @catiewithac I can tell you are a person/friend who truly understands the word “need.” Thank you, again! 4y
aperfectmjk @Bits I work for Telhio Credit Union and the Columbus office always sends them to our branch around Christmas. We also usually give them out to our members to celebrate International Credit Union Day, but not sure if we will this year due to Covid. 4y
marleed This thread makes me smile so hard. I just love it when something local to a post is included and then other Littens jump in to teach me things I never knew and inspires me of places I should go! 4y

Another yummy recipe! Again, slightly altered. I used semi-sweet mini chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. It's really a matter of preference. Also, the recipe calls for something like 2 1/4 cups of chips, that's just excessive. I used 2 cups and there was a lot of chips left at the bottom I just ended up tossing. #WinterGames2020 #readnosedreindeer @StayCurious

Rainy days are perfect for baking cookies. Today I tried lemon drop cookies (with fresh lemon). So good. Now a cup of tea, a cookie and my book are all I need for the rest of the afternoon.

BookDragonNotWorm Those look tasty!!! 5y

Jaimelire @Tamra 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar. Mix. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 egg, zest of 1 lemon & 2 tbsp of the juice. Mix 1 1/2 cups flour with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking Powder, 1/8 tsp baking soda. Add dry to wet ingredients. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350F. 5y

Soubhiville @AlaMich @Pricel101 I was listening to No One Can Pronounce My Name, but you‘re right Alamich, I couldn‘t concentrate so I switched to quiet music 😂. I made vegan peanut butter cookies and vegan orange sugar cookies. I‘m going to taste test them in a few minutes, but they look lovely. 5y

Kind of book related, but how did I not know that Out of Print had Sesame Street T-shirts??? Thanks to a FB blurb, I discovered this Cookie Monster one. Though I need to be on a budget (a large, unexpected car bill has me a little anxious), I just had to get this. Cookie Monster is my favorite Sesame Street character...it‘s probably because of him that I love cookies! 🤣

A gift from my mother for my first #MothersDay. She gave it to me at lunch with my grandma & #LittleDude at a local estate-museum (Hillwood) on Friday. I immediately opened it and read aloud, much to her amusement and my grandma‘s bemusement. I can‘t wait to share Cookie Monster and Sesame Street and Wonder Woman with 👶🏻 when he‘s old enough!!
