No matter what Google and Yelp's Artifical Ignorance may try to tell you.... we're NOT closed, nor are we planning to be.
Please spread the word, because Artificial Intelligence is trying to put us in an early grave!
Moonshadow, who is NOT amused, likes money... money buys kibble and treats!

I do love this feature of the Library Thing.

Today is the birthday of English author Rudyard Kipling, who wrote in many forms, but who is particularly remembered for his children's books. His personal library, as preserved by the UK's National Trust at his home in Sussex, has been cataloged on LibraryThing as part of our Legacy Libraries project. Have you read any Kipling? What books do you share with him? https://www.librarything.com/profile/KiplingLibrary

Thanks ever so much to the powers that be for this. No totals will ever be accurate again. 😘 Ain't that precious.
