Welcome to Litsy!

Trust me, my library would call the zoo if a lion wondered in!

As I continue my project of vetting picture books for my bookstore, here is my favorite of this batch! Even though Library Lion was written in 2006, I find the story and illustrations delightfully nostalgic, reminding me of going to my local library in the 80s and early 90s. A new favorite!

Library all the way! Where would I store all those books? I barely have space for all my library checkouts 😂 And why would I keep them once I‘ve read them?

I personally, LOVE TO SEE IT!

Honestly hope this is the energy we bring when the current EBA expires - these legends have knocked back a lowball offer and held steady for a year!

One of my favorite bookish ornaments. From NYPL.

An interesting, terrifying article about what‘s happening to our libraries in our current contentious political climate. Vote, no matter how small, Littens!

English-language public libraries that are open and safe. I will rejoice in them someday! #pandemic #expatlife #lovelibraries

One of my besties knows my love of children‘s books and over the years has gifted me quite a few. These are extra special as two of them are personalized and all three are autographed.

Weekend plans: Time to straighten my library! It has been 18 months since I culled 2600 books from my home, and since then, about 1600 have come in but I haven‘t organized them, so now there are stacks and stacks everywhere. But I ate my spinach this morning and I‘m ready to rumble. *cracks knuckles* 📚❤️📚

“Library Lion”, modern fantasy, is written by Michelle Knudsen and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes and is a New York Times Best Seller. It works best as a Read Aloud or even independent reading. The local library has a surprise when a lion comes in and enjoys everything the library offers! The humans are a bit scared and wonder why the lion hasn‘t been put out but the head librarian doesn‘t see any issue because the lion follows all her rules!

@LibrarianRyan I actually have 2 lions in the library! We have a big fisheries and wildlife program in our school and these were donated. I'm not a fan of big game hunting, but people always get really excited to see the lions

It‘s National Library Shelfie Day!

Any chance to break out the library lion really 🦁

Came to the library to knock out the remaining picture book prompts for #BBRC and so happy I did because I found this little gem. Such a sweet story about a lion who loves books and the library. I definitely want my own copy. 😊

Picture Book: Letter “L”

This is a sweet tale about friendship, the love of reading and those times when rules must be broken

miss Merriweather, the librarian, is firm no running and no noise in the library. But will she let the lion run and make noise?? This gentle, artful book tells the story of a lion who makes himself quietly at home among the children at the library.

My younger son playing with Clifford at the library.

This library just gets more and more extra...

Honestly, I‘m not a fan of trophy hunting and I wish I didn‘t have these... wasn‘t given much of a choice.

So I live and work in this teeny tiny rural school district where one of our science teachers has developed a nationally renowned fisheries and wildlife education program. They have their own pond, fish hatchery, deer preserve and tagging program, wildlife center, etc. Hunting is huge in our community.
And now we have a lion in our library...

Visiting a different library branch today within my county (because I had to take my kid here to study with friends - also - she is sad that I‘m staying and not leaving). 😀

Hope my holds are in there 😀

This book is adorable.

Spending the next couple days in the elementary library helping with inventory #schoollibraries #librariansoflitsy #teachersoflitsy

My local library has moved around a lot. It has been 3 different locations in my lifetime, all of which were in walking distance of the house where I grew up. This is its current location, in what used to be a funeral home. The kids‘ section is where they prepped the bodies!

#LibraryLove #Riotgrams

I went to a new library today and while sitting in there, I got the urge to look up - was glad I did because this is what I saw! 😀

#hopintospring #libraryselfie

This is me, summer of 2000 in front of the New York Public Library with Patience, or is it Fortitude? I forget.

I‘m supposed to be paying attention at a parent/teacher meeting at my daughter‘s school but they‘re holding it in the media center. I just want to go browse the books.

Definitely more than $50 per month!

Today libraries (in Australia only? I don‘t know) celebrated library lovers day. Our professional association found high profile people to write a letter to a library, sharing a positive and happy memories. We created a ❤️ from them. We also asked our students to write their own letters. It was a great day. #libraryloversday #librarymatters #alia

Cute display going up in my library 😂❤️📖

A new bedtime favorite. Never argue with a 4-year-old bookworm.

Library lion. 🐾

I've only read Library Lion out of these 3 titles and I loved it.

#librarytourism 😉

I had to pick this one after yesterday's trip. ☺️ #library #sizzlinsummerbooks @Tiffy_Reads

The county that I live in has 13 library branches. During the ten years that I've lived here, I've been to two. Branching out today and visiting a new one. It is teeny tiny but I love the energy and activity going on in here! It's busy! 😀

This is your friendly reminder that if you're in the U.S., you need to go to the library today (hopefully, your branch is open on Sundays) to get your books. 😀

No NYC trip is complete without a trip to the Public Library. We finally saw the restored Rose Reading Room-so much better than I remembered! And of course, Winnie the Pooh is a must see. #LibrariesofLitsy

Ahh thursdays...

Thank you, @LibraryDeity for this wonderful Book Lover's Journal. It's old school Litsy- I love it!

This is the reading sculpture in front of my library 🦁📚 (photo from Google Images) #readingsculptures

Good morning Littens! As an educator yesterday was a tough pill to swallow (and a slap in the face - the secretary of education doesn't need to have any education experience?!?! Wait, WHAT???) Anyway thank you all for this amazing community. I appreciate all the support & laughter & books shared here everyday! 💗💗💗 #teachersoflitsy #librariansoflitsy #littensrock

Everybody's libraries look so old and beautiful. #MyLocalLibrary has been 3 different locations in my lifetime, all within 5 minute walking distance from the house where I grew up. The current location pictured was a funeral home for most of my life, and what is now the children's section is where they prepped the bodies! #riotgrams I still love this place though!

Saw this in the teen section of the Library today 💕 also - there are a lot of ESOL students in my county so don't judge their spelling 😀

the library tour of Kansas City continues-this is the parking garage for the central library downtown. too bad it was closed for Christmas by the time I arrived 😧 #librariesoflitsy
