The Librarian | Mikhail Elizarov
56 posts | 4 read | 24 to read
If Ryu Murakami had written War and Peace As the introduction to this book will tell you, the books by Gromov, obscure and long forgotten propaganda author of the Soviet era, have such an effect on their readers that they suddenly enjoy supernatural powers. Understandably, their readers need to keep accessing these books at all cost and gather into groups around book-bearers, or, as they're called, librarians. Alexei, until now a loser, comes to collect an uncle's inheritance and unexpectedly becomes a librarian. He tells his extraordinary, unbelievable story.

I bailed less than 100 pages from the end. Somehow this book made an overpopulated sprawling mess of a most excellent concept.

1. Borrowing ebooks of course, and digital magazines. I took my kid to a lot of library events when he was younger - storytime, holiday craft and science, CoderDojo etc.

2. Not really - except emailing book purchase requests

1. Now a days it's mostly for borrowing books. When I was younger I used it for internet access, making copies and using their rooms for study groups.

I‘ll be stopping at p71. This book is all tell and no show, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. Intriguing premise with tremendously boring execution.

Hi Littens,

The librarian at my school is retiring at the end of the school year and I‘d like to get her something to say thank you for all her excellent recommendations.

I‘d love to know what literary themed gifts you‘ve all received, and loved 🎁

Tianarose When I was kid and our librarian retired we made her homemade bookmarks and got them laminated. (edited) 6y

I‘m excited to say that I‘m officially a full-time librarian! I‘m going to be doing Adult Services at a public library about 15 miles from where I currently live & I‘m so pumped! I‘m a total newbie librarian as I only completed my MLS in December so I‘d love any tips from fellow librarians on Litsy. I‘ve been stalking various hashtags on Twitter to see where the cool librarians hang out. But look! My name followed by the title of librarian eek!

Hey, so friends in #ScreamsByMail #HorrorPostalBookClub! My brother in England sent me this at Xmas, and I thought it would be cool to stick in the front of our books we are sending around the world. They‘re like the old school library cards, where you write in who it has been lent out to and the return date (in this case, I have put the next ‘pass on‘ date. I figured I‘d send on one to the SECOND person who‘d have your book! What do you think?

The school librarian emailed the faculty and asked us what books we would like to see in the library. This is a high school library. What say the #Littens? What books would you recommend?

JenlovesJT47 I'd recommend the Lunar Chronicles, maybe some John Green books, The Mortal Instruments series, Hunger Games series, Divergent series, Rainbow Rowell books (most of them are YA), Miss Peregrine's series. So many good YA (some of these are not as good, i.e. Divergent, but most people seem to love them). And of course, gotta have the Harry Potter series! Oh, and the Dorothy Must Die series. 🤓 7y

AmandaL I second @AceOnRoam and @JenlovesJT47 , plus the Curse Workers series and The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, anything by Sarah Dessen, Anthony Horowitz'a Alex Rider series I hear is good. 7y

Cortg Maryland has a Black-Eyes Susan book program. There are 10 books for different grade levels. Kids and adults can read them and vote their favorite. The list is always awesome and you can find past lists as well as the current list. Here is the link to this year‘s list. Voting is done in the spring. http://maslmd.org/about-bes/nominees/9-12/ 7y

JamieArc This would be a great addition. 7y
Christine11 This was great ! 7y
AmandaL My son devoured the Charlie Higson series that starts with The Enemy. I also liked The Shades of London series by Maureen Johnson. The Raven Cycle is a great read. My son also liked The 5th Wave by Rick Yancy. My kids also devour graphic novels and manga, especially my youngest who has trouble staying focused with longer chunks of text. 7y
ElishaLovesBooks Everyone has suggested such great books! Any books by Andrew Smith, all the books by Laurie Halse Anderson, all the Ruts Sepyts books,Uprooted, Graceling. 7y
Elisa Just finished this, it is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read, and it‘s clean so no objections! 7y
Elisa The Firebird trilogy is a wonderful YA sci-fi tale which is very exciting but also has reflections on handling changes, relationships, personal integrity, etc. 7y
MisterWhitaker Gotta get some graphic novels in there! 7y

Day 7: I don't have a local library anymore, but I still access CPL via Hoopla and Overdrive. This used to be the library branch about three blocks from my place in Chicago, and I always made sure to take some time and chat with the librarians whenever I stopped by. #riotgrams #bookriot #locallibrary

Aquedita In Estonia you can simply connect all of your library cards to your ID card. #justsaying 8y

Got quite a few graphic novels/memoirs in this month! My favorite was definitely Relish by Lucy Knisley - a fantastic graphic foodie memoir. Also still working on The Librarian, it's good, but I forgot how dense Russian novels are.

DebinHawaii Great month!! 🎉📚👍 8y

I just had a patron come up to the desk and ask, "I need to find a book, can you help me?" I looked up at her, blinked, swiveled in my chair, & answered, "Books? We don't have any books here." She got ☝?look on her face. Was priceless ???! Then I smiled and said, "I'm only kidding." Realizing her eyes didn't deceive, she sighed. I said, "But you have to buy them, no borrowing anymore. $10/hr to browse." Got that ☝?look again! ?#LibraryHumor
