NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK 2019

HAPPY NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK, BOOKWORMS AND LIBRARY CATS!

Our favorite time of year has come around again! For those of you who are long-time followers of ours, you know what this means: It’s time to shower your local (and not so local) libraries with all the love we can muster online and in person!

For those of you who may be new here, every year during National Library Week, we make a list of all the library tumblrs that follow us and/or we follow so that you bookworms and library cats can discover new booklrs and fantastic library content! This year the tradition continues with our updated 2019 Master List.  

Without further ado, show these libraries some love and (if you aren’t already) #followalibrary!! (Including, hopefully, us! ;D Just putting it out there.)

Stay gold, and keep visiting your Libraries!

#magnuschase looks a lot like #kurtcobain to me....

That is exactly what I thought, too! I was mesmerized by its beauty. :)

His jacket even looks a little like Kurt’s grungy sweaters. Are we showing our age a little bit? Lol ;)

“Who’s That With TAT?” Samantha Carroll was named president of the @decaturpubliclibrary (DPL) board of trustees last February, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began. In this role, she deals with policies and long-term vision for the library. A staunch library supporter, she previously served on the Friends of the Library board since 2013 and at one point was a member of all three DPL boards. Samantha says she is passionate about helping people who are seeking knowledge. “Our library is an excellent place to gain knowledge that will benefit you professionally and personally,” she says. “While this is challenging during COVID-19, we have been able to increase our digital offerings while understanding the challenges of the digital divide.” A Decatur native, Samantha graduated from MacArthur High School before attending Richland Community College. She then attended Illinois State University to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance and insurance, and she currently is completing her master’s degree in library science. For the past six years, Samantha has worked in supply chain for Tate & Lyle. She previously handled auto claims for an insurance company in Indianapolis, but after five years she and her husband, Matt, felt the call to return home to Decatur. “My goal has been and always will be to improve our wonderful community in whatever ways I can,” she says. Samantha and Matt have one daughter, Claire, and a Catahoula leopard dog named Spirit. #WhosThatWithTAT (at Decatur Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxjNzog2iT/?igshid=1dva8p5eeyf8d
