Isaac + the library: my headcanons (bc he is my people)

He reads too much to buy all of his books, so he mostly borrows from the library.

He uses the public library most bc he’s nearly exhausted his interests in the school one

He has his library card number memorized

The librarians all know him by name, and he’s on a first name basis with most of the public library staff.

He has a preferred chair in the school library for when he has free time, and no one else sits there. Ever.

No one believes him that he doesn’t have any fines. But he doesn’t! (he doesn’t keep them long enough to miss the deadlines)

He has, however, owed money for ruined books from when he’s been caught in the rain or spilled food or drink on it.

His holds list is a mile long, and yes he’s adding another tonight.

He has stacks of books lying all over his bedroom bc he filled his book shelf years ago, and the books have to go somewhere.

There are also several piles running up the stairs, off to the side, and a basket by the front door.

He refuses to let anyone in his room or touch his books bc he has a system, and yes it makes sense!

He only reads physical books. No digital copies, thank you!

He prefers paperbacks. They’re easier to carry.

He gets giddy when they can fit in his back pocket.

The only time he gets in trouble at school is for not paying attention (too busy reading to care)

Teachers take his books sometimes and give them back after class.

No one else takes his books. Ever. He lets his friends hold them, tho. They’re nice.

He wants a bookmark that reads: “Yes, I’m reading a book. No, I don’t want to talk to you about it. Go away.” So that he can display it while reading in public places.

Walking and reading is second nature. Yes, he can and will do both.
