    *reads the last line again*

    *closes the book*

    *deep sigh*

    *screams*

    *throws book out the window*

    *jumps out the window after it*

    *writhes in pain while clutching the book*

    *cries and rocks it back and forth*

    *puts it back down on the shelf*

    *deep breath*

    *Calls friend* “read this book”

    Sometimes I do worry about their psyche though:

    They make up cool new words;

    They’re a sassy little shit.

    Inspired by Worthington Libraries: Blind Date with a Book!

    We started with ~40 books. Two hours later, all but four had found homes with library patrons (sorry, Flush, Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Persepolis, and The ThingsThey Carried, they don’t know what they’re missing).

    Now, to send forth a new fleet of exciting books into student arms. Whew!

  10. Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you’re alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.
