“Museums around the world are sending each other solicited duck pics … The world may be a hellscape of pain and suffering but museums trying to outdo each other with pictures of ducks makes it a little more tolerable.” I agree. Thanks, Suzie DeGrasse!
Marian Engel’s Bear
Marian Engel’s novel Bear, first published in 1976, is about a love affair between a librarian and a bear.

If you would like to read it, it may be available in a library near you.
Thanks, Daniel M. Shapiro.

Quilliam makes his home in the teen area of the Lee Road branch.
Thanks, Simona Mkrtschjan!
