"We've got big problems in Dallas, and it's not Little Free Libraries...It's just not. We cannot be known as the city that regulates Little Free Libraries . What's next Tree houses? We're going to make it not fun for a kid to live in Dallas." Amen.

The troubles translators ran into when trying to render Harry Potter into their target language. Imagine how hard it was to translate into Parseltongue ...

The Friends know some people who will be very excited about THIS news:

Hey, do you happen to know any budding artists?  We've got a class for them!  Check this out! (Click on image to enlarge.) Free art for the masses! Or at least masses of 11-14 year olds.

...there's a National Friends of the Library Week AWARD ?? We're kind of hoping to win Miss Congeniality. P.S. Happy National Friends of the Library Week, Friends.

Don't actually have bookshelves filled with first editions, leather bindings, and other beautiful book treasures? It's okay! The Friends are here to make you look smart anyway! Here's library wallpaper you can use to smarten up any room in your abode. Now go put on those faux eyeglasses and pretend away. Your secret's safe with us.

Coffee shops wonderful enough to make you want to start wearing black and writing that Great American Novel.

Come one, come all! (Click on image to enlarge.)
