What is this?

Matt’s Tall Tales is a bloggish-journalish-Matt-ish project following the misadventures of me! Your author! Matt. In case you didn’t get it. Just read a couple stories. You’ll figure it out pretty quick.

Oh, you want a real answer.

I work at the Free Library of Philadelphia’s main branch (come say hi!) where I see many things. I started writing them down to amuse my friends on Facebook under the hashtag #TodayAtTheLibrary , which is a significant portion of what you’ll find here. After lots and lots of encouragement, I’ve branched out from library stories into regular life stories, and from there I jumped over to here: Matt’s Tall Tales.

I write little stories daily and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy sweating and bleeding and crying over them.
