#publiclibrary — Public Fediverse posts

Submitted my 3d print to my public library...

A simple web form. All I need is my library card number an email address and a phone number.

Then I go pick it up...

I ran it through an online 3mf checker to check that the #freecad output worked in 3mf format when I selected two objects.

I had tried to do a union but it was taking forever. It's nice that 3mf can include multiple objects, because it's pretty dumb to waste a bunch of time with a trivial union.

Even the public library has seeds 😲🌿

I went to the library to drop off my returns, and I discovered they offer a seed catalog! 😲🥳

So naturally, I grabbed a few seed packets to add to my midsummer seed order. 😆🌿

The seed packets I chose were Chinese giant sweet pepper, okra, cilantro, and parsley.

I know it might be a little too late to start the Chinese giant sweet peppers, but I’m going to try planting a couple of seeds.

The other day, I accidentally spilled some of my cilantro seeds, so that’s why I grabbed another pack.

I went ahead and planted the pepper and okra seeds in seed trays. Then, I added some cilantro and parsley seeds to the herb pots I currently have growing.

Just making the most of this growing season! 😁🌿

Midsummer seed order

Getting the garden ready for fall crops!

Toad pool

Such a funny surprise—a toad swimming in our rainwater bucket. 🐸💦

Low energy day, so let’s make pancakes!

Just a chill day of low-energy activities.

A few of these donations were first editions.

I am working from the library this afternoon. I enjoy a change of scenery once in a while and this would be my go-to even if @jaymeb wasn't working here.

Claudius is sus

Zhen (13) and I have been reading a kid-friendly retelling of Hamlet. I found this great find at our local public library!

I thought reading Hamlet For Kids (by Lois Burdett) together would be a fun way to introduce Zhen to Shakespeare without overwhelming her with heavy Elizabethan English.

Today, we read the part of the drama when Hamlet sees his father’s ghost and the ghost tells him Claudius killed Hamlet’s father.

“What does prophetic soul mean?” Zhen asked after reading the passage.

I broke it down for her by asking her to think of what a prophet means and what they do.

I explained, “So, this is basically Hamlet’s poetic way of saying, ‘I knew it! I knew it was my Uncle Claudius!’ Hamlet was suspicious of his uncle, and now the ghost has confirmed those suspicions.”

“Ohhhh, so Claudius is sus!” Zhen exclaimed. 🤣

We both started laughing, and I said, “Well…yeah! I guess King Claudius is sus!”

Such a Gen Alpha way to explain Shakespeare! Haha 😄😎 But it made me happy Zhen made the connection!

#TBT The only #Ultravox title in my local #PublicLibrary's catalog is this 8-disc "Deluxe Edition" box set of their 1984 release "Lament". They don't have anything else from the band, not even a "Greatest Hits" or "Best of that guy who wrote that annoying Christmas song" compilation. Only this doorstopper. But does the world really need seven different mixes of "White China"? Perhaps not, but you'll get no complaints from me 🎶 ⚡ 🎹 👍 😁 #Music #ClassicRock #NewWave #SynthWave

Both my bicycles need to go into the shop. So checked out this Rushford Bike Share bicycle from the Rushford Public Library.

These aren't available from mid-October to April. Still nice to have it as an option.

Note: Bicycles with coaster brakes don't stop when you pull on the handlebars non-existent brakes.

Are you a fan of libraries, a designer and you live in #Boston ?

BPL are hosting a contest to design their new library card: https://www.bpl.org/boston-public-library-card-design-contest/

Would be cool if the final design was done in Inkscape 😉
