John Jacob Jingleheimer SchmitFocused this afternoon on ILL lending and also USPS returns primarily, but also doing some courier returns that line up with some of the outgoing courier lending when headed to the same destination. More efficient that way. #InterlibraryLoan #LibraryLife
Stephan Schwering 🏳️🌈Guten Morgen. Auf geht’s in eine neue Woche #LibraryLife. 🥰
John_MorganI work in a library in Dublin, Ireland.
Had a guy come in recently looking for a book about Dublin history.
Luckily, we have a Dublin section.
I pointed him in the direction.
Twenty mins later he comes back with a book.
You taking that out? I ask.
Yeah, he says. Flips the book open to a black and white picture of a man and a kid.
That's me and my dad, he says.
Rare enough someone in there puts a smile on my face, but that did it.
NotQuiteSuperhumanI recently came across a post about a library budget game used with library science students in the 1970s, and it sent me down a rabbit hole exploring the long history of games, simulations, and play in adult learning. Maybe serious gaming isn’t a new idea after all—perhaps we’re simply rediscovering something educators knew decades ago.

TAE courier already came & went; dropped off 5 bags, mostly returns, 1 incoming to be processed along with yesterday's late arriving USPS delivery that had to wait until this morning to process as the blue bins had already been picked up for delivery the next morning. #LibraryLife #InterlibraryLoan 📚
