The library is one of the last free places in most cities.
They’ve really come a long way. The one near me has gaming rooms for computers now. Free DVD rental, there’s a tea lounge, etc.
Constantly reinventing themselves.
Libraries are one of those concepts that sound very alien to today’s mentality “what do you mean free renting of copyrighted material without paying the owner company?!”
“LIBRARIANS ARE PART OF A SECRET ORGANIZATION TRYING TO ESTABLISH A NEW WORLD ORDER!!!”

Worse. They have been very busy accusing librarians of being pedophiles and “groomers” on account of the existence of books mentioning LBQT+ subjects. They have literally shut down libraries by cutting funding for them on account of that.
They aren’t creative, they literally steal ideas. I hope you didn’t just invent their next manufactured outrage arc. lol
does anybody else remember before the computers lookup systems came how you could go to the library as a kid and say “I want to read about Egypt” and the librarian would walk you through the whole library pulling a dozen books off the shelves for you and giving you a summary of each book they suggest. it’s like they read every book in the library!
Uh oh. Penguin Common House is going to throw a fit that they can’t resell you a book in the public domain. Maybe they should sue the Internet Archive harder and also continue to lobby against public libraries.
This is a reminder: fuck Penguin Common House. Stop buying their books.
What was the tale?
