My favorite Christmas gift ever! My brother cleaned up and added a new top to this card catalog that had been sitting in my grandparent's barn for years. Warms my librarian heart.

So this is NOT a review for the tagged book! The book I‘m reviewing is not on Litsy! Which is a shame bc we really are it‘s intended audience. The book is The Card Catalog: Books, Cards, and Literary Treasures by the Library Of Congress. This one is really just for the nerdiest of all library nerds. Yes, hello! This book is literally a history of the library card catalog, especially in how it was/is used at the Library of Congress. It‘s great!

MrBook 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 Need. That. Book!!! @BookBabe 5y
Brooke_H @MrBook It‘s fantastic! I think you both would really enjoy it. 5y
BookishMarginalia Did you know this existed? Would make a great companion piece! @mrbook @bookbabe 5y

My husband‘s feeding his friend‘s cat, Tuba, while he‘s away & his house is absolutely fascinating. He‘s got this gorgeous, old card catalog, which of course I covet hardcore. The drawers, though? 😆😅 Check-out the labels: “drum stuff”, “picks”, “strings”, “cat stuff”, “weed stuff”, “gameboy”, “incense.”

I‘m dead. 💀

LibrarianRyan My card catalog has similar labels. Spare ribbon. Glue. Bingo daubbers etc. odd I know. His has a georgous color 5y

February Book Riot photo challenge, day 1 As much as I would have liked to offer a fancy angle of multiple shelves, they are too untidy, so here's your glimpse of the neatest shelf by my desk. #newbooks #backlist #riotgrams📚 #paperback #paperbacklove #discworld #theouroboroscycle #h2g2 #fairuse #deathpositive #loc #shelfie @bookriot #day1

Y'all, I am SO EXCITED because I BOUGHT THIS LAST WEEK!!!!!

I have wanted one of these since I was a kid and finally found this on Craigslist for an affordable price. (Well, affordable compared to every other one I've ever seen.) It weighs a ton (still in the back of my mom's minivan), & I think my mom is going to have it refinished as my Christmas present, a guy is coming over next week for an estimate.

If anyone would get this, it's you all!

DGRachel 😍😍 7y

OrangeMooseReads So pretty! 7y
queerbookreader One of the libraries in the county has their old one used as a seed bank holder and people can come in and check out seeds and bring back some that they grew at the end of the season 7y
merelybookish I love it! 7y

Suet624 That's gorgeous. Congratulations! 7y
RidgewayGirl What will you use it for? I vote lingerie and drugs. 7y
LauraBrook @Soubhiville @SilversReviews @RidgewayGirl Hah! This will be in my dining room (where a big 5 shelf bookcase is now), and it'll be part storage (supplements, batteries, who knows what else), and eventually I'd like to make my own index with my books. But it's 30 drawers, so there will be empty spots. Any ideas? (Aside from lingerie and drugs, Kay! 🤣) (edited) 7y
LauraBrook @thequeerspiderwoman Wow, that's a great idea, and what a cool program! Is this at the fancy library? I wish more libraries would do something like this. 💙 7y
queerbookreader @LauraBrook No not the big central library, it's at the library the next town over from me. I thought it was a neat idea!! 7y
WarpedSweetness How can you refrain from using it already?! Lol And who said lingerie and drugs? I second that! Lol 7y
Jess_Read_This @thequeerspiderwoman A library by me does the same thing with their seeds and card catalog holder. You write your name and what you took in a spreadsheet. Then at the end of the season report back! 7y
Izai.Amorim Cool 😍 7y
