#Library Display
Text
One of the librarians has been sneakily removing books from the snowman to make it slowly melt over the last couple months, and he’s finally gone. I only got a couple pictures of the process, but the later stages are hilarious

I saw your disability pride flag at my university library for a Disability Pride month display by the door. Didn't get a picture, but it made me smile.
I love that this flag is being spotted at libraries. Maybe it's a sign that actually teaching disability history is not far off.

I like making displays at work. This one in the YA section is for books like Hunger Games with lots of competition and fighting.

My gay wrath was envoked early this Pride Month, when my work set up a Pride display, but, instead of having the shelves full of books written by queer authors or have queer characters, they instead took random books and arranged them so that the covers make up the colors of a Pride flag.
Ah performative allyship at its finest.

Spooky season is upon us! To celebrate I put together a few designs promoting books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! These are four of my poster designs! Again, these posters are absolutely free for you to print and use!
Schools and public libraries are under attack and need your support. They are facing quiet defunding, book bans, and acts of hate. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected, and show your support by stopping by your local library.
For additional Halloween freebies celebrating libraries and reading, click the link here!
If you would like to see more of my library/activism designs or would like to get these designs on a T-shirt, book bag, or sticker, you can visit my shop here.

Typography Tuesday
Last month, the Milwaukee Public Library's Arts & Media Department held its first Art Book Club session. Intended as an informal art book appreciation club that meets once a month in the Art, Music, and Recreation room, each session explores a different theme by looking at the wide variety of art materials in the collection. The collection is historical, non-circulating, and vast. I attended and spent an hour and a half mesmerized by the array of luscious materials presented.
There was design, architecture, fashion, and much more. As a type nerd, I was especially drawn to the several late 19th- and early 20th-century type specimen books on the tables. Here, for example, are some pages of chromatic initials by various European and American companies from Schriften Atlas, compiled by Ludwig Petzendorfer and published in Stuttgart by Julius Hoffmann in 1898.
MPL held its second Art Book Club session on the theme of "Animals" last night, but I missed it because I was conducting an evening instruction session. Dang! But I'll be attending future sessions when I can and I'll keep y'all apprised.
View other type specimen books.

there's a variety of thoughts going through the minds of the employees of Lobotomy Corp when everything begins crumbling, being reshaped into a Library- victory, resignation, shock and dismay. the Sephirot are calmer, their agreement with Angela set and signed as the former facility begins shifting and warping, their consciousness being packed away, neatly stored in books until the AI calls for them- they'll get what they want in the end. it's okay, they believe, and close their eyes.
except for Binah, the Sephirah infamous for being so cold and sadistic, holding your hand in hers. she inhales sharply when she feels your form begin to dissolve into light, the memories of all your repeating deaths stored freshly in her mind, where everything else is hazy and vague from being poked and prodded at. her fingers only slip away when she tries to reach for you, a small frown on her face and a hint of fear in her eyes.
no. she wants to say, but her voice flutters away like pages. not again. not this again.
i can't lose you again.
#project moon#lobotomy corporation#library of ruina#binah#binah lobcorp#binah library of ruina#once her floor is opened and she's straightened herself out the first thing she does is look for you#and when she does find you she hugs you in front of everyone#rare display of public affection from her#before letting go and smoothing out your clothes#tells you very quietly that she's happy you're back

From the article:
"So this month, I want you to promise to reach out to librarians or teachers when you see a Pride display and thank them. The hateful book banning side is outnumbered; they’re just loud. We need to make our voices heard, too. We need teachers and librarians to know that they have support. Send an email. Reply to a tweet. Make a phone call. Even better: show up to those school board and library board meetings. Stand against the hatred and show that they don’t speak for all of us."
Other ways you can show your support:
Contact the library's director
Contact the library's executive board
Write an approving letter to your local paper

View of a display window at the J.L. Hudson Company department store featuring two mannequins of women wearing dresses and hats. Mannequins are posing with a bonsai, vases and a Japanese scroll. Sign in foreground reads: "1881-1941. The J.L. Hudson Company's sixtieth Jubilee year." Printed on front: "Davis B. Hillmer."
