I've been a bad, bad squirrel. I've been careless with a delicate blog.

But I’m sorry. I’ve been a stagnant mental funk.

I’ve decided that I’m asking for the things I want in life, so this is what I want:

♥ I’d love to win this award. If you’ve ever enjoyed a post on this blog, I’d appreciate your nomination for Favorite Public Librarian. The vital information: My name is Ingrid Abrams, I work at the Brooklyn Central Branch, which is in Brooklyn, NY, and my email is magpielibrarian@gmail.com. Again, click here. It doesn’t take long and it could be your mitzvah for the day.

♥ If you’re an Astorian (of Queens), I beg you to visit to Leenie’s Vintage Emporium. Matilda, the owner, is a great woman. Sometimes I go over just to chat. She could use some good Yelp reviews. I’d love for her to stay in business. She’s a lovely person with some fascinating pieces. I could hang around that store forever:

♥ Can you find me in this video? This was so cool! I was stopped by the New Times Style peeps!

♥ My awesome Urban Librarians Unite peeps wrote this book! Look for me in the first free web extras section! I’m hugging a lion!

YAY!

Real post soon, y’all. Promise. Pinky swear.

~Love and Libraries, Ingrid
