Faranae The little free libraries have a noble intention, but they do tend to appear only in already well-served communities. This is probably at least in part because the non-profit costs quite a bit to officially link with, and they police their over-broad trademark rather aggressively... 3mo

willaful @Faranae My neighborhood has a number of non-official ones, which I prefer for those very reasons. One of the official ones is paired with a “we're watching you“ type sign, too. 🙄 3mo

Here‘s a tour of my library room! I‘ve been meaning to finish it off and hang a few things so here it is! It‘s one of my favorite spots to chill inside even when I‘m not reading 🥰

I made a hard choice this past month and I took a leave of absence from my job starting today. It‘s been a rough school year and I have the time to do it. There were tears and I‘ll miss it, but it‘s time to heal from all that has happened. I‘ll be using my time to read and catch up on my #litsylove letters and my other challenges.

Deblovestoread I love this for you! So glad you get time to rest and restore! 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Your smile 😊 looks great! Rest, read, relax,repeat!! Hugs to you! 2y
Bookgoil Thank you @Kdgordon88 and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks it‘s been a breath of fresh air already not to have the stress 2y
UwannaPublishme Glad you‘re taking time for YOU! Rest, replenish and keep reading. ❤️ 2y
Bookgoil @UwannaPublishme thanks 🙏 it‘s been much needed I realize 🥰 2y

#LittensDressedInBlood #Day4 The top pictures are of my local library which is a modern glass box which I‘m not a fan of. I much prefer our State Library of NSW in Sydney(bottom left)which dates back to 1826 & is the oldest library in Australia. It has a huge reading room with galleried shelves & many smaller rooms housing historical records & artifacts. Bottom right is my own home library, pre covid, before it became my overfull lockdown cave😋

Read-y_Picker What a super cute library/lockdown cave! 😊 3y
Chelsea.Poole Lovely, all of them! ☺️ 3y
MidnightBookGirl You‘re home library is so cute! 3y

Question of the Day: Do you prefer to buy or borrow your books? #QotD

I know for many of us that it is a mix of the two, but I'm curious where you land on the spectrum.⁣

Tag me in your reply posts so I see them!

[ID: daily question on white background over cartoon figures having a conversation.]

Roxanareads I prefer to buy 3y
Karisa I prefer to borrow if possible. However, I‘ve been known to go back and buy a borrowed book I loved or want to share with my classroom library. 😊 3y

I have been in a slump for some months now, both with reading and with Litsy, but I have decided to make August the month where I get my literary groove back! I often tell my clients, that to change your mindset, you have to change your behaviour, so now I‘m going to practice what I preach 😅

I took a trip to my library today and bought home a big stack of books to help kick start my reading again, and I plan on reading a little bit everyday 🤞

Freespirit Good luck...once you get into a good book there will be no looking back I'm sure! 4y
TrishB Hope you‘ve got some good reads lined up. When I‘ve felt really down over the past few months I‘ve mentally made myself post something or comment on something, it‘s helped me not become completely disconnected, which is very easy at the moment! 4y
monalyisha Just here to same...same! You‘re not alone. 4y

Megabooks Sending you good wishes to get your groove back!! 4y
erzascarletbookgasm Hope you‘ll find something that sticks in your library stack. Happy reading and hope you‘ll drop by here more often 💕 4y
MicheleinPhilly Nice to “see” you again. I‘ve been struggling more than a little with my reading this year and have just accepted that it is what it is. If my brain can only handle tv, so be it. It comes back in fits and starts so when it does I lean into it and enjoy it but I don‘t beat myself up anymore when it goes away. 😘 4y
squirrelbrain A big pile of books is a great idea - you can dip in and out when you please. Hope things start to get better soon. 😘 4y
Kalalalatja @Freespirit @monalyisha @Megabooks @erzascarletbookgasm @TrishB @squirrelbrain thanks! The worst part hasn‘t even been the lack of reading energy, it has been not keeping up with Litsy. I have missed it, but it just felt like too big a “task” to do, when I didn‘t even read. So it kept reminding me that things weren‘t “normal”, if that makes any sense. Hopefully, I can find some positive energy from this community again, because I have missed it!❤️ 4y
monalyisha @Kalalalatja It was almost like a mini identity crisis for me. How do I have all of this time now — & yet, I‘m *not* using it to read??? Who am I, even?! 4y
Kalalalatja @MicheleinPhilly I totally get what you mean, I‘m trying not to beat myself up too much. And I have watched so many great things on tv 😄 it is more that I really miss being able to disappear into a great book, which I just haven‘t been able to do. Maybe I just haven‘t hit the right book, maybe it‘s timing. Whatever it is, I‘m just rolling with it, but I need to get a bit into the reading habit again for my mental health‘s sake 4y
Kalalalatja @monalyisha exactly! But we went back to work pretty early here in Denmark, so I don‘t have a lot of time in my day for reading. But my mind has just been elsewhere, too. It is hard focusing right now! 4y
squirrelbrain I‘m sure you will find something positive in Litsy, Katja, it still remains a happier place to be! 4y
JennyM I‘ve missed you my friend. Thinking of you and hoping you find a book to get you back into things. Look after yourself 😘♥️ 4y
BarbaraBB Take care! We will always be here for you for some bookish of non-bookish talks! 4y
BarbaraBB By the way I am reading this one and it‘s a thriller about the time when psychology made its entrance into detective work. If you haven‘t read it, it may be a good one for you: 4y
Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB ❤️❤️❤️ and I have considered seeing the tv series of it, because I didn‘t know it was a book, but seeing your posts about it have made me curious! 4y
Kalalalatja @JennyM ❤️😘 thank you! I have missed you and all of my bookish friends, too! 4y
Avanders Sometimes I think our brains need a break.. even from things we love. Good luck settling back into it! 💖💖 4y
BarbaraBB Well they are really trying to work their way in the murderer‘s mind and understand his behaviour. It might be something you‘re interested in. There is a lot of child abuse too - I warn you 4y

My state's library association sold license plate decals as a fundraiser at our last conference. Instead of the association's logo for the decal, we chose the sign you see in towns that direct people to the library. My plates were finally up for renewal, so I ordered the decal plates. I just went and got my car washed and put the new plates on. 😁

Bookzombie That‘s cool! 4y

monalyisha OOoOO! I‘m not much for mysteries, typically, but I like that it‘s monks. I‘m sort of intrigued... 5y
PathfinderNicole @monalyisha I‘ve been on a big historical mystery kick lately but this has been “in transit” for almost 2 weeks and I‘m getting impatient 😂. 5y

I‘m so excited that in my new grant writing job, I‘m working with a school librarian for the first time! Her enthusiasm for getting books in kids‘ hands is absolutely infectious. I can‘t wait to get started!

I loved my school librarian so much as a kid. Special shout out to all the school librarians on Litsy. Y‘all are fantastic!! 😁💜📚💜😁

Sharing library cards with friends is, in fact, the best. My own library has a terrible selection of audiobooks. I have an audible subscription, but that‘s 1 per month. I listen to 8-10 a month, and I can‘t afford that many! Yay for friends coming to the rescue.

And since I am not a fan of the current administration, I pretend in my head that all of my taxes pay for libraries. 😝

howlinglibraries This is brilliant. 😂 And yeah... I feel you on the taxes. 6y

This is a dream library/booknook space for me; a top favorite 💜💚❤️. I love that each shelf has light within and it all segues into a second area with a fireplace, comfy furniture and I love the wall color too.

RadicalReader @Eggs absolutely love your style when it comes to bookshelves 6y
