my library twin

[boxofdelights]

My library twin's holds this week are
The Souls of Black Folk, by W.E.B. duBois
A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn
The Deficit Myth, by Stephanie Kelton
The Candy House, by Jennifer Egan
The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Protect People + Planet, by Leah Thomas


I love her. We should be friends. I do not know whether she feels the same way about me: My holds this week were Red Moon, by Kim Stanley Robinson, and the movie Free Guy.

Library twin?

My library puts your holds on a shelf, tagged with your initials. So people with the same initials have their holds shelved together, and they have to pick out their own and take them to the checkout.

I use the holds system a lot, and so does one other person with my three initials. I don't know anything else about them, except that they are always reading books I want to read!

so here's my thought, which i would not find creepy, but maybe do a poll to see if my creep-o-meter is off:

leave them (are you sure it's a "she?") a note saying "i always get such great ideas about things to read from looking at your holds. the other BOD" (i know BOD are not your real initials--use your real initials :) .)

if people agree it's not creepy, see if they respond. nothing ventured, nothing gained.

That is an excellent message.

I don't know that they are a she but my gut feeling is so strong!

I do not think it's creepy!
