Might be a stupid question but I tried to look online but couldnβt find any so I was wondering if anyone knows :)
Teen girl is main character, goes to a library to borrow a typewriter or something, discovers that the people who work there are quite odd and there are no books at this library, itβs a bunch of stuff you can check out. It turns out that the items are mostly magical and she discovers the lower level is practically a never ending hallway lined with doors on either side, each full of different types of items and sometimes creatures. Please help!
Hey everyone!
I'm an undergraduate at UW in the Human-Centered and Engineering department. I'm seeking to gain more responses from young adults in Seattle outside of UW on Seattle Public Library amenities and experiences with the public library.
It would only take a few minutes. This survey will not be published; it's only for educational purposes. I appreciate any time you have. Thanks!
Here's the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/zRZjUDfPj74NgSwz8
I was wondering if there autism service dog for young people and adults with autism? (Because I planning to asked my counselor if a autism service dog could be useful for me) because I don't know if there any autism service dog for 18 year old
I read it in high school and all I remember is that her brother died over the summer and her mom became a drunk and her dad became a workaholic I think. What I'm seeing in my mind for the cover is a blurry picture of the woods with lots of light like it was taken from a car maybe.
A friend of a friend (early 20s) has recently lost both her parents, and has now become the main breadwinner for her household (including a younger sister, also early 20s, and a teenage brother).
Her brother is understandably not handling things well and keeps being sent home from school (they seemingly don't have any procedures in place to deal with this kind of thing either), but both sisters have to work to afford rent, bills etc. and can't take unpaid time off to look after him. Are there any services available to help in a situation like this? Her grandparents are not really in the picture and she has no help/support from any other family or adults around her.
Hello everyone!
The Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia Chapter of the ACRL's Professional Development Committee Chapter invites you to attend September's offering for the 2021-2022 iteration of its Professional Development Web Series:
The Adult-escent in the room: Teaching emerging young adults in the academic library
Presented by Ms. Catherine A. Baldwin, Instruction Services Librarian, University of Pittsburgh
Friday, September 17, 2021 12 pm-12:30 pm EST
Session Description:Β Traditional university students enter higher education as adolescents who are still developing into adults. Β In the midst of continuing physical and cognitive changes, traditional students experience significant personal and cultural adjustments as they transition from high school to higher education. Β The confluence of new life experiences and personal maturation creates challenges in student attention and academic performance. Therefore, understanding and honoring the needs of emerging young adults, as well as their tendencies, informs information literacy instruction for meaningful activities and improved efficacy.

The Professional Development Web Series is a monthly half-hour presentation in which library colleagues share innovative practices, highlight new initiatives, and offer information and support. Sessions are recorded and posted to the professional development committee's youtube channel so that other library professionals can benefit from the information presented.
Participating presenters receive the opportunity to share what they know with a broad audience in a welcoming, low-stress environment: we like to think of it as a "conference-light".
At this time the committee is also putting out a Call for Proposals for our monthly web series running on the third Friday of each month from September 2021 to June 2022. If you have a skill or story to share that you belie

I've been working in the service industry since I was 13 (family friend owned a restaurant so I helped out). Im 23 now and would hope to goodness that I have manners & at least the decency to greet and thank customer service workers. My main point being that everyone should have a time in customer service solely so than can appreciate how customer service representatives are treated. I feel if each of us had a better understanding of how we all treat each other (hangry, tired, etc) we would have a more decent way of living.
I read this back in high school, so it's been a hot minute. Probably sometime between 2014-2016.
The main character is a teenage girl. She and her dad (I'm pretty sure her mom had died) live in a huge forest, possibly even a national forest. Her dad is some type forest ranger or scientist. Something happens and I think the dad gets kidnapped or something. But the Female Main character and her friends from school (one of which is a male who later becomes a love interest) have to fight/escape while some type of government officials try to kidnap them. I'm fairly certain the female character had super powers, she can talk to animals or something similar. All the kids in her school have powers too. The name Megan sounds so familiar to me, but I'm not sure it's right.
Have a fever to get back into reading (partially so I have an excuse to turn my electronics off at night . . .). Anyone know places I can slip in, check some books, leave?
Thank you
Hey everyone, Iβm 26f- here to ask for advice on how to get out of working in the restaurant industry. I have worked as a server since I was 17 years old. Itβs the only work Iβve ever known. I used to enjoy the job. The fast paced environment and high volume social interactions, fun coworkers, drinks after shifts, etc.
** My only parent passed away last year and since I've undergone a major shift in my personality. I now find the work to be less than tolerable. Depressing really, having people regularly speaking down to me, treating me like their unworthy servant, and hours upon hours of having to scrape nasty leftovers off a plate into a heaping pile of garbage. I stare into the heaping steaming garbage and realize itβs a portrait of my life. Covid has made restaurant work absolutely insufferable.**
I don't have a college degree because Iβm convinced college is largely a huge scam if you donβt have a specific career in mind. (At 18 I caved to familial pressure of being forced to go to college and made the grave mistake of choosing a degree in film/media studies, that I abandoned after a few semesters after realizing how futile it was)
I am interested (but have NO experience) in: furniture restoration, interior design, woodworking, and all things related to plants/farming/gardening/nature. I am exceptionally organized, have a talent for cleaning, fast thinking, and have complete confidence in my ability to learn how to do something so long as someone is willing to show me the correct way it should be done. I am open to the idea of trade school so long as obtaining a career with said trade is promising.
So where do I start? Iβm willing to put myself out there but I just donβt know where an appropriate starting point would be. I hate the idea of applying for jobs only to be laughed out of the building due to my lack of knowledge and experience.
To anyone who reads this and has advice about where I can begin- or maybe just help me believe that there are, in fact, other jobs out there that donβt involve scraping dried noodles off the underside of a high chair, I am eternally thankful .
If I recall correctly, it's about someone living in a dystopian society and he finds clues about a underground resistance. I think he notices that on old maps an island in the mediterranean is visible but missing from more recent sources. When I read it long time some 20 years ago I always assumed the island was Mallorca.
He makes his way to the island and finds a resistance movement and from there they launch some sort of operation against the dystopian leaders, situated somewhere in the alps. I seem to recall that the big turn was that the resistance movement was allowed by the government, acting as a honey pot to lure troublesome individuals away from society at large.
I can't remember author nor title. I think it was an English or American writer but I'm not sure.

There is a girl who had passed out as a child in the woods and was lying there (regular sized) which was a part of the plot in the second half. There is a point where one of the miniature people are killed by their boss for failing at a mission I think.
What's up. I read this book around 2014-2017 in middle school, I was about 12 years old. I randomly picked it up from my school library and gave it back before I finished it (rookie mistake). I remember the cover being extremely white, with a small emblem on it (may have been a bicycle).
About the book: Fiction novel about a kid who's moved away from his old town. I vaguely remember him moving to colorado. The boy picks up a job delivering either ice cream(bear with me lmao) or newspaper on his bike. However, I think the main part of the book took place in the towns public library. He meets an unknown artist who teaches him how to draw day by day, and he slowly becomes better at it. I remember some scenes focused around him closing his eyes and simply drawing what feels right in his head. I also remember another about him exploring a someones vacant house. Since I didn't finish it, I don't know much about the plot. I'd really appreciate any help I could get on this as its been eating at me for the past few weeks.
Thanks for the help.
This happened to me 12 years ago when I was a really naive school kid. The more I reflect on it now, the more unsettling it is.
I grew up in a small rural community which was meant to be really safe, lots of retirees and young families. I'm a trans man, but was a few years away from realising that at the time so I just looked like a young girl. My body had developed early but despite the Jessica Rabbit curves I was ridiculously baby faced. The day this happened I was wearing the ugly junior school uniform and had my hair in two plaits. Aside from the boobs I probably looked about ten. Ugh.
My family lived about ten miles out of the small town I went to school in, and since it was the sticks there was no public transport and I was too young to drive. Normally I'd get the school bus home but if I wanted to go to the public library after school I would go there and wait for my mother to pick me up after she finished work. If anything went wrong I had nowhere to go.
So on the day this happened I had gone to the library alone and headed to the young adult section. It's very clearly aimed at teens, with posters and beanbags and things. Normally there would be other kids there, sometimes families. But today there was only a middle aged man sitting alone in one of the chairs. He instantly made me uncomfortable. It wasn't his appearance, which was dirty looking, badly dressed, balding, overweight, dirty teeth. He didn't look homeless, just like a slob. But this space was clearly for teenagers and their families. He wasn't even reading or anything, just sitting there looking around like he was scoping the place out. His eyes were the scariest thing about him, bugging out of his head as he stared at me.
I didn't want to be anywhere near this man. Quickly I grabbed a few books off the shelf and went around the corner to sit in a chair in the adult fiction section. This section was also deserted. I opened a book and tried to read, but a few seconds later I felt eyes on me. I glanced up and saw him staring at me through the bookshelves. He saw me looking and let out this eerie giggle, like he was a child caught while playing hide and seek. It made my skin crawl. Ignoring him, I went back to my book.
Next thing I know, the creep was quickly approaching me. He sat down in the chair right next to me, so close I could smell stale sweat and cigarettes. Again, the whole place was deserted. I felt sick. He put his face close to mine and said "Hello." His breath w

I remember there being a boy as a love interest who became her partner throughout the book. The climax of the book involves the pair going to some magical world to fight the bad guy, and it's made of metal and technology (specifically cars) is alive. I think it may have been a series.
I don't remember the author of the book but I remember a couple plot details. The beginning was telling how twin sisters went horseback riding, one fell off without wearing a helmet and developed permanent brain damage. After that, it skips to a few years later and takes on the twins' little sister's pov. The other twin, not the handicapped twin, was found dead at valentines day. After that, the younger sister starts getting weird messages and death threats so she's trying to figure out who it is. It turns out that it was the twin with the brain damage the whole time, at the end she tried to kill her younger sister. They were on a frozen lake and the twin fell through the ice but wouldn't let her sister help her out of the water. I distinctly remember toward the end when she fell through the ice, she floated to a different patch of ice and her sister could see her through the ice but couldn't help her.
I think they travel to different planets and it talks about how the humans have evolved differently from the environment of each planet, i.e.one race was red skinned, different body shapes kind of thing. Having the library is against the law so they are being chased
