So, the semester is in full swing, and the library has been MONDO busy (hence the severe lack of posting!), but this day has been so full of fun that I felt the need to share:
- An ultra-polite student came in looking for a specific edition of Dante's Paradiso, bless his literature-loving heart, and was adorably delighted when I offered to ask the director to buy it for the library.
- Another student came in looking for Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty trilogy because she'd heard it was a good one for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey. As she had some time to spare, I had her sit down with me at the Reference Desk, and we ended up putting in ILL requests for that and two more books... and, as I realized that my personal knowledge base is Seriously Lacking when it comes to Teh Erotica, I'm now reading up on that in order to put together a decent list of recommendations.
- And third, a student who I helped out last week came in with a present for me: a teeny, tiny, perfect vole skull.
Anyway. It's been one of those bursting with happy sorts of days, so I felt the need to share.
I'll be back to regular posting and reviewing soon, hopefully!
Oh! Also. I added some Star Trek pins to my Etsy shop, and I adore them.
La la la la la.
Hope all is just as fabbity-fab in your neck of the woods.
Aww! I want a vole skull!
Also: you are THE woman for not making your patron feel weird about her book requests.

You need to share a pic of that vole skull. Did you see this? http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/7687808/Mahy-movie-heads-to-New-York
