#ReadAway2024 #Series

This is a cute children‘s book (part of the Bats series) with an autumn & slightly spooky (it‘s bats) 🦇🦇🦇 vibe so I‘m counting it for #HauntedShelf. I‘m also using it for the #BookScavengerHunt #Luck prompt as these book-loving bats get lucky when a library window is left open & they get to spend the evening at the library. .

Read during the readathons listed in comments below. Go Team #Flerken 👻

Joining other great Littens who picked this book for today‘s #Bats prompt because it looked so darn cute when I was looking for bat books this morning. 🦇

I just borrowed it on Kindle through Libby & will add it to my #HauntedShelf list for Team #Flerken & read it this weekend. 📚🦇📚

🦇🥰 Nothing like reading a couple adorable #picturebook (s) about bats after finishing a horror novel. Bats at the Library holds a special place in my heart but Stellaluna is so sweet, and so beautifully illustrated.

Not gonna lie...I totally almost bought one of these for my match. I didn‘t. But ALMOST.

The bat cape is pretty objectively hilarious, am I right? 😅 H&M‘s killin‘ it.

Couple things about this photo : notice the craft eye stuck to my 3 year old‘s foot. Secondly, I‘ve been having a lot of conversations lately about the idea of opening my own bookstore; talking about the good that a well run bookshop can bring to a community. Watching my kids play bookstore this morning has reminded me that they‘re watching and listening. I‘ve got to live my best life and hope they‘ll see me and do the same.

Some people just don't understand we are closed... I guess they just love books so much 🤣😍. Our brother caught this little visitor while he was working on our awning this morning. We love bats, so have no fear this little one will soon be rescued and set free in the wide world to find more books.

annahenke Ah! I hate bats! 6y
LitDrivenGirl @annahenke but they are very cute and helpful! 🤗 6y
annahenke @LitDrivenGirl I had a very traumatic experience once. It peed on my head. I've never been the same. 6y

Bat-loving booklovers rejoice! 😍 these illustrations of bookish bats are gorgeous, and the story conveys the joy of learning the wonders of the library and falling in love with reading 💘 the toddler was 0% interested due to the lack of wheeled vehicles. Maybe he needs another visit to the bat house at the zoo... #mommyreads #babyreads #picturebooks #librarybooks #librarylove

GarthRanzz Just found a boxed set of this, Bats at the Ballpark and Bats at the Beach. Going to get them for my nephew. At least that‘s what I‘m saying. 😊 7y
alanacristin @GarthRanzz Woohoo! Lucky nephew 🎉 Maybe.. 😜 7y

Poor little library bat. I've rescued it and it's now sleeping (hopefully) in a box under my desk and waiting for nightfall. Please stay in the box... please stay in the box... please stay in the box.

#publiclibrarian

OrangeMooseReads 😳 you are far more daring than I. I too hope it says in the box. 7y
rubyslippersreads You are so brave to rescue it. I hope it stays in the box too. 🦇 7y
Dogearedcopy Um, you picked him up in the daylight? If so, you need to go put the box outside. I would call animal control to double/check; but bats outside in the daylight are usually ill, often with rabies. 🦇 (edited) 7y
BookInMyHands @Dogearedcopy It was fine- when we found it, it was asleep. I called a local resource and we released it near water at dark. I hope it stays over that direction and away from the library doors! 7y

Day 7 of #riotgrams - #mylocallibrary ?? I'm spoiled for choice with 3 library cards. Technically, NLCL is my "local" but hard to visit due to their hours and my hours not matching up (nice romance section tho ??). I use @iowacitypubliclibrary for pretty much all my library needs with C'ville as backup. PLUS a few years ago the 3 libraries pooled their resources to create Digital Johnson County so we have a sweet ebook/e-audiobook collection.
