I'm not usually great with Book Clubs, but Star Wars books tend to be quick reads and so many of them have great audio adaptations that I'm hoping I can participate in this one more often! If you're looking for more Star Wars discussion in your life, join up!

I subscribed to the free version of this news letter a couple years ago and it has some solid journalism. Many times, Judd will cover a story and it will be picked up by the national news media the next day. He's also really good at keeping after things, doesn't just let them fall away with each new incident.

You can follow them on twitter, but the newsletter is nice because you can read it at your leisure in the inbox rather than trying to read tweets, plus he usually has graphics and sources etc.

Here is my referral link, if you are interested in signing up.

Drawful 2 is an online multiplayer bad-drawing game! You can get it for free right now on Steam, Mac App store.

I think even if you don't have the game, you can play also. You go to jackbox.tv and then enter the room code and I think you can play on your phone or something or just observe if the room is full.

If you follow me on Twitter and Insta, I'm going to post there when I setup a game. We will see if it works.

Please spread the word - there are Full Time Librarian and Full and Part-Time Library Associate Jobs at my library system!

DETAILS HERE!

Librarian positions requires a MLIS.

Library Associate requires a bachelor's degree (in anything).

We are Generalists in this system, so we do ALL THE THINGS, but we are especially big into programming of all shapes and sizes. Many of these positions will be at the brand new Annapolis Library, opening in 2020!

I stumbled upon the Official SparkNotes twitter while in Wisconsin and it had me giggling for quite a long time. If you need some literary humor in your life, you should definitely give them a follow.

I kinda want to print a bunch of them out and stick them all over the library.

As you all know, I'm a big fan of British YouTube video game shows OutsideXbox and OutsideXtra. Occasionally on these channels, the group will get together and play D&D, and those games are DM'd by the lovely Johnny Chiodini, previously of Eurogamer.

Well, Johnny has left Eurogramer to pursue his passion of tabletop games! He is on a new channel called "Dicebreaker" which is all about table top game reviews. They just launched the channel and I find Johnny charming for some reason so I have, of course, subscribed. And now I'm worried I will need to hide my wallet because I want to try all the games!

Anyhoo, if you're a fan of tabletop games or just like to watch people talk about and/or play games, why not subscribe?

Here's a video to watch, if you need to be convinced:

I think Steam has been reading my blog posts! Klei has a publisher sale this weekend and Don't Starve Together is $6! Just throwing it out there. :) I'd rather play with you guys so we can laugh about all the times we have died later. I'm awful at the game but it's fun with friends.

Part-Time Information Desk Positions available at my library system!

These are substitute position where we would book you for shifts to cover vacations, meetings, and sickness - in other words, some bookings would happen far in advance, others might be last minute.

Feel free to share this!

My library system (Anne Arundel County, Maryland, U.S.) is hiring Part time circulation positions. These are kind of like substitute teachers, so if a person has a vacation, calls out sick or we just need coverage because of a training/program/meeting, you would be called. Hours are kind of all over the place, obviously, but it is a great way to get your foot in the door.

To be on circulation, you only need a high school diploma and Windows experience! And obviously good customer service skills. :)

Find the details here, please spread the word!

Game sites are giving away free stuff for the holidays but they are only leaving them up for 1-2 days!!!

Epic Games is giving away Subnautica which is a great mix of adventure, story, exploring and building as you try to survive on an alien planet after your ship crashes. The ultimate goal is to rebuild a spaceship and leave but you find clues along the way for the bigger story.
Grab it here quick!!

GET IT! It's really fun and huge and it will make you feel like you are swimming in a magical ocean and even when the monsters try to kill you, you will say "oooooh pretty"

Feel free to pass this around to anyone you know of job hunting in the Maryland area who has an interest in working with kids, families etc. at a public library.

Library Associate Position at Edgewater Branch, AACPL

Library Associates ONLY NEED AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN ANYTHING and then lots of enthusiasm. :) This branch just lost someone to a promotion, so they need another person interested in doing programming and outreach for all ages - they have a great preschool crowd for their storytimes and they are also right next to a senior center!
orangerful: (belle and a book)
This one is for a full fledged librarian with their MLS. It is for a smaller branch so you should be willing and able to do ALL THE THINGS - from working the desk, to supervising people, to doing children's programming and more.

Librarian I

Feel free to share the link if you know any librarians in search of jobs! :)

If you've ever been in an American clothing stores, staring at the pants sizes, wondering WHY GOD WHY ARE THEY ALL THE SAME SIZE YET ALL DIFFERENT - turns out it was the Department of Agriculture's fault

Here's Why Clothing Sizes are the way they are

*sigh* I wish they could just go to actual inches, save everyone the hassle and humiliation of trying on 5 different pairs of the same pants to figure out a companies sizing for that season in that fabric on that day.
