The Woman in Me: Britney Spears.

'Tis Britney, b*tch. And Britney it is. Only this time this is Britney 100% on her terms, and there's no two ways about it—it simply loves to be seen.

You may have heard she has just released a memoir, The Woman In Me. It is many things at once: painful, funny, fascinating, angry as hell. And it is not an easy read. But it is a hell of a journey—to the darkest depths of fame and exploitation, and all the way back again. It is, above all, a beautiful thing.

Naturally, you folks across the #britney fandom are here for it. Well we, we hope, are here for you, too. We have a little competition for you. We want you to submit your interpretation of the soon-to-be-iconic book cover. What's in it for you? Well, we're glad you asked: only the chance to be picked and featured by @britneyspears herself. 

You can enter and submit right here.

If there are two things Tumblr loves, its art, and all things Britney. Need we say more?

so i finished britneys book and i am truly shocked about how the media and especially her family treated her. the whole world owes her an apology and i rly hope she now gets to live her best life.

LCPL WRAPPED 2024

Ok DON'T PANIC, this post is still true - it just broke containment a bit so we don't know how many people saw the original tags and might therefore be a little concerned to see THIS post.

We don't know what you, personally, checked out.

We have to track total circulation stats to make sure we're doing our job correctly and keeping a healthy collection (and to defend our budget), but these stats are anonymous!

Is one person responsible for every single One Piece check out? Is James Patterson artificially inflating his numbers by visiting our library constantly? Who knows! The only thing we know is that kids(?) really, really like Jeff Kinney books.

And so without further ado, here are the most checked-out items of 2024:
