The corpse of Dickens' taxidermied raven tweets again.

If you enjoy a good gimmick Twitter account as much as we do, the Free Library has someone from the Rare Book Department tweeting in character as their taxidermied corpse of Charles Dickens' raven, supposedly the inspiration for Poe's famous poem. @griptheraven is up on the really, really nerdy National Libraries Day hashtag #shelfie, as well as how to use emoticons and how to sound unbelievably pathetic and sad:
Grip hears that the new Shakespeare exhibition is open in the Rare Book Department, but no one will wheel him over to check it out :(

Poor Grip. At least he has this outlet now.
