These are pictures of how I felt about kids before and after becoming a public librarian.

Cats unable to give birth being "given" a kitten to be a parent to will never not make me bawl my eyes out 😭

What a coincidence!!

I'm watching a webinar by an entrepreneur/author Trevor Blake who hid in a public library in Wales to escape from the bullies in his teenage years and discovered books that led him to his extraordinary success.

Her expression in the second photo is causing a fallout of my heart!

I was pretty sheltered growing up, so once I was allowed to walk to the library as a teen, it made me feel so empowered. I try to give my young patrons the space they need (they are extremely self-sufficient library users) and nothing breaks my heart more than the children who come in accompanied by overbearing parents.

I used to feed this fixed stray cat for 2 years. Found a kitten and let her smell it and she instantly wanted to be a mom even though she didn't produce any milk

More proof that an intact reproductive system isn't what makes you a mom 💖

i used to live in public libraries when i was young cuz i had no friends and my home life was bad.

Much love to all public librarians, i can honestly say i wouldnt be here today without them. Sometimes i feel like going back and thanking them but they definitely wouldnt remember me so it might be awkward.

So you have a new kitten, cause you can’t take that away.

My heart can’t stand it! It’s both breaking and filled with joy. Give Rosie a snuggle from me?

And then there's my cat, first time he met kittens he hissed and smacked them.

They did learn if all 3 of them ganged up and hissed back he'd run away.

That is not how cats show affection for their young.
It is staged

My sweet Artemis has always been a good mommy to the kittens we rescue even though she never had a litter herself.

You ppl are so annoying. Not everyone on this planet sees the exact same posts as you do.

It's a first for many.

Anyone who types what you did on any post act like new fresh sets of eyes can't get to see this stuff.

You and all ur peeps with those comments need to get a hobby if it upsets u THAT much that it makes u post . Normal people if they see a repost they scroll and move on.

Big L. Touch grass.

Had a ~2yo male cat, who we suspected spent most of that time on the street, then went out and adopted a ~3 week old kitten. Our old man actually grew mammaries and started breast feeding the little guy for a while. Was the strangest thing, but the vet said that happens sometimes, and that our old man probably sired a few kittens himself before being caught and neutered.

My library really only gets unaccompanied elementary aged kids during the summer, but they are a challenge. I've had to explain to some white boys why "The KKK" doesnt mean "kool kids klub." I'm sure they knew that, and at least there's kids nonfiction about racism. I don't imagine their parents had ever addressed that.

With all the negative we have to deal with, those stories of how people have been helped really matter to us. If you're more comfortable writing a comment card, those matter too! At my library the comment cards get forwarded to all the branch workers and administration.
