VERY bad news. DECADES of research shows reading for pleasure is related to a child’s later economic success, not to mention their educational prospects, and emotional wellbeing #readingismagic #magicisforEVERYONE School and public libraries are an essential not a luxury.

⏰ Wake-up call! ⏰ 2023 shows the lowest levels of reading enjoyment since our records began. We need urgent action to ensure children have the skills they need. Read the research: literacytrust.org.uk/research-servi…

❤️ this tweet to receive a reminder on 11/11 to pause for 2 minutes of silence and make Remembrance Day the most unforgettable day of the year.


PSA: our snowshoes fit on Blundstones. Did you know MCMPL lends out snowshoes? Stop by the library with your card to get your pair. And email Kirstin at [email protected] for trail maps, sizing or other snowshoe questions. #physicalliteracy #blundstones #winterinalberta

This month we learned about hope with Jane Goodall's _Book of Hope_, next month we'll learn to _Think Like a Monk_. Pretty soon we'll be as zen as they come, right? #nonfictionbookclub #saturdaylibrarian

Last month we built boats. This month, it’s CASTLES! Join us for Lego in the Library on Saturday morning. #lego #saturdaylibrarian


Great idea. #1 "The Peace of Wild Things" by Wendell Berry.

I highly recommend keeping an ongoing list of your favourite individual poems from different poets and printing them out and putting them in a little binder in your bag as an emotional support anthology of your own making.

I’d say that it’s time to put together another list, but really, go to your local bookstore, go to the library, and the shelves are rich with story. We have a lot of work to do, but if it was easy, it wouldn’t be the right way to do it. We’re in this together. /5

Person goes to the doctor, says they have so many problems they don’t know what to do. Doctor says, "I know. The great #saturdaylibrarian is in town. Go see them. They can answer any question." The patient bursts into tears and says, "But doctor... I am the #saturdaylibrarian.”
