friendly psa from a library assistant!

do not write on our books!!!!

your selfishness not only wastes an employees time (we have to spend 2-4 hours checking every page and erasing) but also the poor book will never look clean ever again, there’s no good way to permanently remove pencil marks (god forbid pen) and the eraser shavings get everywhere too.

sticky notes exist for a reason!! DO NOT WRITE IN BOOKS YOU DONT OWN!!!

thanks for coming to my Ted talk

This is the Velvet Star Cluster! 💜💜💜

Not only does this photo contain a large cluster of around 500 stars, but it also contains a beautiful planetary nebula named NGC 2438! There might even be a tail of stars due to gravitational interactions in the past 💫💫💫
