Bibliothèque Forney, Paris, France

Today installed inside the Hôtel de Sens, the former seat of the archibishop of Sens, the Forney Library was founded as in 1886. A patrimonial library focused on decorative and graphic art, it is named after Aimé Samuel Fornay, a tailor of Swiss origin who established the collection.

From chapter 3, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono

"In September 1972 I was 12 and in my first year at Mt Temple Comprehensive School....The challenge was the two bus rides it took to get there....Unless you cycled, which is what my friend Reggie Manuel and I began to do. It was on one never-ending incline of a hill that we learned how to hold on to the milk van. And I'm not sure I've ever felt as free as I felt on those days, cycling to school with Reggie."

What would make this story even better, IMO, would be if the pussycat happens to be #black, #gay, #trans, & a member of the local #library.

So... I just updated my #python #library to version 2.0.0.

Now it uses #pronoundb's API v2!
Also, you can now specify custom pronouns - for example, to get a German array of pronouns!

In general, it's a library that allows you to request pronouns from users using pronoundb, in Python. So it's just a wrapper, I guess? Still quite useful!

https://pypi.org/project/pronoundb/

I'm still proud of this library since it's my first one ever! 👀

For those that Spotify.. I made a playlist of Library Music GOLD.

What is a 'Library Music'? I hear you cry.

That's easy.. It's just music, made for all the other things that need music.. like Movies, TV Shows, YouTube, Adverts and websites. Over the years, all the same studios, composers & musicians (including me) who made the music you could buy in the shops ALSO made library music, & soundtracked your life on the sly. Sneaky buggers.

Authors: want to know how to give your book the best chance of being chosen by Australian libraries? One of my favourite places is my local library. Not just because of all the wonderful librarians and the books I get to borrow, but I also get the buzz of seeing my own books on the recently returned shelf, or hear that my farm memoir is being enjoyed or dissected by another bookclub. This week too, Australian authors received our Lending Rights notification (the annual payment AU authors receive if there are at least 50 copies of your book available in AU libraries). There are many reasons why it's important for authors (trad and indie!) to work on building library demand for our books, and for all the writers who have asked me how to go about it, I've created a handy online course with all the info, tips, links, registration pages, list of distributors, marketing ideas and downloads you need to give you and your book the best chance at Australian library success. You can access the course at www.boldauthors.com - hope it helps you achieve your goals!

Hi #librarians and #libraries folks. I'm mentoring some awesome faculty who are creating an undergraduate Library & Archival Studies Concentration in Africana Studies at their institution. The purpose of the concentration is to encourage undergraduates to pursue MLIS degrees.

One of the things we're focusing on is developing an introductory #LIS foundations class. I've been brainstorming possible things to cover and would love your input and ideas.

Currently I've organized things by:
1) Things library folks need to know
2) Things library folks (may) need to do
3) Professional pathways (a set of perspectives for framing the content)

DM if you'd like to contribute to my brainstorming doc, or add your thoughts here👇

Well, the voters have spoken. Our candidates—kind people with integrity—won the election. They won!

@npr_bot I sent this list of five book titles to my husband to consider buying for the grandkids--twin girls, who will be 12 this summer and for their baby sister who is 7.

We have neighbors whose baby girl will be one in Aug. I'd like to get these books as a birthday present for her library for reading when she's older. We contributed five (more age-appropriate) books earlier as baby shower presents, so there's a precedent here. 😀)

I was at an academic #library teaching conference today (WILU) in Montreal. Attended a session of 5 librarians from an #Ohio university talking about how they incorporate #CriticalTheory into their instruction work. They were creative & thought provoking. Then they mentioned how scared they were that Ohio might pass its bill SB 83, making their work illegal! Just checked the news and Ohio Senate passed it. Scary attack on #AcademicFreedom https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2023/05/17/ohio-senate-moves-to-restrict-dei-training-at-public-universities/70222442007/

I do a Zoom read-aloud every Saturday for about 45-50 minutes. The kids are second graders, with the occasional younger or older sibling listening in. I have stuck to picture books, but have started getting complaints that the stories are too short. So each time I end up reading at least 5 stories. It's getting harder to find new (to them) stories that are age appropriate and enjoyable. I feel like the ideal would be a smaller number of longer stories, but it seems there is a sudden jump from picture books that take at most 10 minutes to read to text-heavy books that can't possibly be read in 50 minutes.
Considering how popular story time is in Anglophone libraries, there must be resources out there somewhere, no? #library #ReadAloud

We were supposed to start early with #RuralBroadband installations, but it turned out that a public #library 20 km away lost its connection. This was not my business, but my technician knew about the problem, knew the place, knew how to fix it. We also knew that people responsible for fixing it wouldn't get there earlier than late next week. We lost an hour and a half, drove extra 40 kilometres, and had to tell one customer that they'd have to wait for their Netflix until Monday. But the library is back online.
