The Koolvord Room contained an exhibit documenting the hopes and fears of library patrons. This one not only contained dolls, but also achieved a certain poetry in its encompassment of everything from the specific to the general. Text reads: "Clowns, Dolls, Deep water that looks like an abyss, Shakeira, Big crowds, Society." Hard same, kid. Hard same. I too fear abyssal depths, clowns, and society.


Bittersweet Blue's dolls:

L to R: Just Play Hairdorables heads on Hasbro Casual Disney Princess bodies, Dream of Doll Petsha, Mystic Kids Gene, Fairyland Minifee Rens, Fairyland Minifee Chloe.

Petsha: "OMG is she doing what I think she's doing?!" // Gene: "You actually believe that stuff?!"
Rens: "I can seeeeeee the futuuuuuuure!" // Chloe: "Snicker."
