Stanley Kubrick’s freaky library and card files.

Library that got expansion grant 17 years ago cannot move to larger quarters and shut the [expanded] library down completely until 20 years have passed. This happened in my town too, just recently. The town owns the building and due to some law or another, needs to use the building for town purposes. Thi sis usually how historical societies get such great digs, I reckon. [thanks jeanette]

The QE2 has the largest library at sea and the only full-time at sea librarian. There are other job opportunities for at-sea librarians as well.[thanks hanan]

Other superlative libraries include the Denver Zine Library with one of the largest library zine collections in the world. [thanks tammi]

With the exception of the “push to shush” action figure, my most received link would have to be ones about library cats, often to the same library cat page. I love the page, but try not to relink unless something really new is going on. Well, there’s a new article out about library cats, and it’s adorable. [thanks carolyn]
