The Library: A Fragile History | Andrew Pettegree, Arthur der Weduwen

Mehso-so

I can't say there was anything wrong with this book, but it still felt a bit laborious to get through. No stories were bad, it was just never brilliant.

I am loving this little book! It feels epistolary without being epistolary. It reminds me of The Uncommon Reader. It‘s just lovely and warm. The chapters are loosely jointed but unique to themselves.

BkClubCare Yes, Such a feel good affirming book 1mo

I‘m doing a pop-up book club at the library for the eclipse in April. Where I live, we are in the path of totality so it‘s going to be pretty cool.
What better book to celebrate an eclipse than Dolores Claiborne, lol #IYKYK

This brilliant book has something in store for everyone. This is a kind of book that is meant to be reread again and again and through each reading one discovers something new, something exceptionally brilliant. I will definitely recommend this book.

Alma mater mention! Well, for less than a year of grad school I don't think it counts if you don't have a degree from there? Anyway, fun fact: Lund University was founded in an effort for "swedishify" Skåne, an area that had until very recently been Danish since Lund's founding. I had philosophy lectures in Kungshuset, "the kings' house", the oldest building on campus.
(let's pretend I didn't hate Lund)

I'm honoured to be the recipient of the 2024 Cache Valley Library Association Library Hero Award, presented each January to someone who has given "notable service to libraries in Cache Valley."

I love this organisation and have so much respect for its members and the good work they do in our area. Long may it continue.

Oh, this book. It holds you in a warm and tight hug, telling you everything is gonna be alright while at the same time lovingly shoving you in the right direction to do something new. I absolutely loved it. So much, that I have a proper book-hangover now.

ju.ca.no It is such a heartwarming book! 🩷 2mo
AnnR 🙂 High praise! I have a hold on the book and am patiently waiting for it to become available. 2mo

These prism glasses allow me to read in bed without straining my neck. Where have these beauties been all my life? 👀
