About Carpe_Librum...

Hello! I'm a children's librarian currently living in Philadelphia. I have two cats, a lot of hobbies (including but not limited to woodworking and sewing), and (predictably) a love of books. I like fantasy, scifi, and stories with found families in them in particular! I read mostly children's books because of my job (and because there are a lot of good ones), but I do occasionally dabble in grownup books too.

I would love any kind of postcard and any kind of postcard message, but if you're looking for specific postcard ideas here are a few things I tend to like:

- fantasy or scifi
- illustrations
- people from your country
- cats
- space
- postcards that show something of where you live
- black and white photography
- funny cards
- cute cards
- handmade cards
- shaped cards (it's okay if they're in an envelope - I know it's hard for them to survive sometimes otherwise!)
- some of the characters or creators I tend to like: Pusheen, Snoopy/Charlie Brown, Studio Ghibli, Tintin, Avatar the Last Airbender, Terry Pratchett
- anything that has a particular significance to you that you'd like to share with me!

If you're not sure what to write, here are some suggestions:

- What did you do today?
- Why did you choose this postcard for me?
- Do you have a favorite book?
- Do you have a favorite quote?
- Are there any children's books in your language that you would recommend for my library? (I'm in charge of the language section and always looking for more titles!)

If you speak Spanish or French, please feel free to use it when you write. I'm trying to improve!

Have fun!!
