Sometimes, you just have to say, “We hate you,” in a song.

Sometimes, this is the same cat.

There are two types of cats

On Halloween, I’m happy to give candy to trick-or-treaters, regardless of their age, as long as they’re wearing costumes.  I don’t care if they’re little kids, teenagers, babies being carried by their parents, or the parents themselves.  If you come to my door on Halloween in costume, I’ll offer you whatever treats I have.

However, if you don’t have an obvious costume, be prepared to justify what you’re wearing.  This isn’t begging strangers for candy, it’s trick-or-treating -- some sort of costume is required at my house.  Now, if you can come up with a creative explanation of why your costume is a T-shirt and jeans, that’s great!  If your “costume” is “um, uh, I’m a high school student?” then you’re out of luck.  That’s not a costume; that’s your clothes.  I don’t care how old you are, either come up with something to wear or come up with a creative idea -- I’m good either way.

if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.

As a librarian, and especially as a cataloger, I have Feelings about the arrangement of books. However, one of those Feelings is that, in your own personal/household library, you should arrange your books in ways that make sense for you/your household. Part of that is going to depend what types of books you have, part on how much shelf space you have where, and part on how you use and look for your books.

In my household, we have several broad areas for books. General fiction is arranged alphabetically by author; books by the same author are alphabetical by title unless I can remember a series order easily or at least separate distinct series from one another. Anthologies are arranged alphabetically by title. Graphic novels and collections of comics are arranged by series, character, or title (depending on whether they're part of a series and/or how we would look for them).

Nonfiction books are organized by subject, with similar topics generally grouped together and flowing into each other in ways that made sense when I set up the shelves after we moved here. For example, one shelf has yoga/stretching -> massage -> first aid -> general science -> animals -> field guides for birds and plants -> pets -> art books (because we have some art books focused on different animals) -> biographies (because we have biographies of artists).

A few collections are separated out for various reasons. Picture books are in their own area because I had a small bookshelf with high enough shelves for them to fit in (mostly) comfortably. Cookbooks are on their own set of shelves in the kitchen, roughly grouped by topic or type of food (general, slow cooker, chocolate, bacon, etc.). Gaming books are organized by gaming system, then generally by title. Books on sex and sexuality, erotica, and NSFW graphic novels/comics are in the bedroom but otherwise mirror the organization of the main collection.

The guest bedroom has collections of miscellaneous information and short essays, as well as books that we have two copies of, so we don't mind if someone borrows them indefinitely.

This is very important research so I can figure out how to arrange my books

That is very cool!  It’s on beyond Madison (Google says about 2 hours total from our place), so I don’t know if we’ll get there.  It’s a great design though!

Trilobite. Corn. Maze. Geoscientists, if you’re anywhere near the US State of Wisconsin; you have a corn maze to visit. In fact, based on the response of the family that owns the farm when I asked for an image, I think they almost insist we show up! The trilobite Calymene celebra is the state fossil of Wisconsin and they are found in Cambrian and Ordovician rocks throughout the state. The maze also features cubic Galena – the state mineral of Wisconsin, a fossil ammonite and nautiloid, a microscope, a tool, an empty jar, and a couple insects. The link to the maze’s website is below. Anyone who is there, do feel free to comment on this post while you’re lost inside! -JBB Image credit: http://treinenfarm.com/2017maze
