Pac: Everyone on the Island is gonna take the pills!

Fit: I don't think everyone on the Island's gonna take the pills, Pac. You know, it's–

Pac: [In a low voice] Who you think is not gonna take the pills? Who is the maniac, who is the crazy one that doesn't want the pills?

Fit: Well, I mean just think statistically Pac, I mean, there's how many members on this Island? Not everyone's going to say yes.

Pac: Everyone's gonna say yes. Otherwise I think– [whispers] I think Cucurucho might do something.

Fit: What do you think Cucurucho would do?

Pac: Uhhhhhmmmm... Probably make everyone take the pill! [Laughs] That's all! Or maybe kill everyone, I dunno! Or maybe kill the Eggs. [Laughs] Who knows! Who knows, who knows... Oh wait, the Eggs are already dead.

Fit: Wait, WHAT? They’re dead?!

Pac: Oh no they’re not! I’m just kidding! [Laughs and punches Fit] I’m just kidding, Fit, I’m just kidding! They’re probably all are alive and good, they–

It's at the cost of you, but even the rain knows. The rain remembers. Oh, what a revelation you were. Wild, like your hair in the damp. As constant as the moss in this old forest.

Fit: Pac– this isn't you, you're just– I know you're all happy and stuff, and this medicine is making you feel good, but it's not reality. It's not reality.

Pac: [Shouting] And what is reality, Fit?! What is reality?! The reality that we have is like, just wait until the Eggs show up, or just wait for something to happen! I'm cool with my medicine, you know? I'm cool with Cucurucho helping me! It's making me feel way more better! So that's the reality for me, you know. Reality is the thing that you accept, so I'm accepting this as my reality. [He sighs, then says in a quieter voice] Sorry, Fit. Sorry, I just– sorry. I didn't mean to scream at you, sorry.

Fit: No, listen Pac– you need help. I know you– do you even remember why you took this medicine in the first place?

Pac: [In a quiet voice] 'Cuz I didn't have any other choice, you know. I was hopeless. It was my only choice, to use the medicine. That's all. [In a quieter voice, starting to mumble] That's why I'm gonna- I'm gonna still- gonna use it.

Fit: Look Pac–

Pac: –until I forget what happened, and that's it! That's what I'm going to do.

Fit: I know you're still in there somewhere, Pac. I know you still remember everything. I need you to remember.

Pac: [Mumbled] ...I will remember– I won't– I don't want to, I don't want to. I just want to- to build my home alone, ok Fit? I'm- I'm sorry.

Booktok!

Hi everyone! My name is Leta and I live in Brooklyn, NY. I have two little cats (Penelope and Clementine) who are my study buddies and have gotten me through this program! I love reading literary fiction, essay collections, poetry, and of course romance novels.  This is my last semester at UB and I am crossing my all fingers for a job in the Brooklyn Public Library system as a Young Adult Librarian starting in December or November. I’m really excited for this course because I have worked a lot with social media professionally and am also a big fan of it in my personal life. I think social media is an amazing way to connect and I can’t wait to learn about incorporating it into library work!

I don’t know about y’all but I love TikTok, and especially “BookTok,” which is a community that discusses books and reading. Something really cool I’ve been seeing is the involvement of library TikTok accounts with BookTok. I think it’s amazing to create fun book and library content on TikTok to reach young audiences and connect with library community outside of your patrons. It’s also a great way to find out about new books to add to library collections or promote inside the library. I think the more personal the better—the TikToks should have lots of personality and feature the library workers in them to help create familiarity and the sense that the library is a safe and fun place to be with safe and fun employees. I’ve seen lots of library TikToks go viral which encourages patronage of your own library and also promotes libraries in general which is good for everyone! 

I encourage everyone to get familiar with BookTok by searching “#booktok” on TikTok and seeing the kind of videos people are making about books, and the amount of sub-communities there are inside BookTok! I think this a really important new way for libraries to connect with patrons, especially young adults.
