It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these posts but I love sharing bookish/paper arts/etc. stories that I think you might enjoy as well. So I’m back with another post!
Do you miss library card catalogs? It’s so nice to be able to find things quickly thanks to the internet but I have fond memories of learning how to use the card catalog. If you want to learn a bit more about its history read this article.
Speaking of libraries, did you know that the New York Public Library has a collection of weird objects? I loved Virginia Woolf bound journal which sounds like she made. Check out this short video to learn more about artists and some of their special items.
If you are having a hard time sticking to some of your New Year’s resolutions and need a habit tracker to help you with your reading goals, check out this clever bookmark.
For all those of us who have piles and piles of books, we’re in good company.
Have you ever thought, wouldn’t it have been lovely to talk to Jane Austen about her books? Well through this A.I. chatbot you can! There are many other figures (historical/current) but of course I would only want to hear some of Jane Austen’s thoughts or perhaps Shakespeare!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are reading good things!
Thank you for sharing these links. I especially liked the idea of having an antilibrary. “One’s library should therefore contain not just what one knows, but much more of what one doesn’t yet know.”
That bookmark for tracking your reads is awesome! I use a spreadsheet, but have to remember to update it more often than I do.
Now I want to go to the New York Public Library just to see their collection of weird objects! 😀 Hope you have a great week this week.
Thanks for sharing these links, Iliana! Hope you’ve a great week ahead!
