📚 We went to the library today to celebrate National Library Week. We checked out books, seeds, and cds, and I also got Deacon King Kong by James McBride for a $1 donation!
📚 Did you celebrate, and how?

#nationallibraryweek

Bookwormjillk I did celebrate! I joined Friends of the Library for the two systems I use, and signed up to train as a volunteer for one of them. 4mo

My wallet was stolen last month and I realized the other day the only thing I hadn‘t canceled was my #librarycard! I mean, what are the odds, but you can‘t be too safe, right?! 😂
I got my new card today (way cuter than my old maroon one) and checked out The Overstory by Richard Powers (trying to read 3 Pulitzer Prize winners this summer).
Also it was my last day of school today so please excuse my wild, dirty, sweaty, joyous appearance. 😜

Velvetfur I'm so sorry to hear your wallet got stolen! What a nightmare ☹️ I hope you're ok emotionally xx 1y

Susanita Ugh. I‘m sorry about your wallet but glad you‘re getting it sorted. 1y

rwmg Did the thief try to borrow books using your old card? 1y

Leftcoastzen Cool card , mine is from the Phoenix bird era !😄 1y

PaperbackPirate @Velvetfur The worst part was that it happened out of state so I had to fly home without ID. But all they got was about $25 in cash and a couple gift cards because I canceled all of my cc right away. They tried to use my cc and were denied every time. I loved that wallet though and it can‘t be replaced. Doing ok emotionally now because it could have been so much worse. Thank you! 1y

PaperbackPirate Thank you @Susanita ! When I got my library card I told the librarian I‘m becoming a human again! 😅 1y

PaperbackPirate @rwmg They did not try to borrow books and I knew it was unlikely but wanted to err on the side of caution. Maybe they should have though - I‘m sure it would have been an improvement! 😅 1y

PaperbackPirate Ooh I always wished I had that one @Leftcoastzen ! 🐦‍🔥 1y
