yeah
As a librarian I know that a lot of people get scared or embarrassed about telling us that they damaged a book, but I need everyone to know that it actually has a really important reason, particularly for water damage, like if you got the book wet. Tears and such are relatively mild problems depending on the rarity of the book, but wet paper molds very easily, so if you get a book wet and we don't know, it can mold and that mold can spread to other books and potentially become a health and safety hazard.
So when librarians tell you to report any damage, please don't be too scared to! We're not going to yell at you, there are actual reasons why we need to know!!

The thing that gets me about the many, many times I've seen people recommend Libby (and to a lesser extent, Hoopla) as this sort of magical free place to read books! you can find free books on Libby! so much selection on Libby! Libby has it! have you looked at Libby? it's on Libby! is that Libby is your library.
Not in the metaphorical sense!
Literally, Libby is provided through your library. You get access if your library has provided Libby as a service to its users. It has to buy (well, lease, I think, technically?) ebooks and e-audiobooks for its community, which is why my Libby may have different titles or formats or wait times than your Libby.
Libby is not like Project Gutenberg or the Internet Archive or whatever else it's usually included on lists with, open to Americans across the country (and whatever other countries whose copyright laws allow access). Libby books are a service paid for by your library in the same way that physical books on its shelves are free to borrow, paid for by your library funding and selected by your librarians, and therefore may differ from the physical books at my library with my librarians. Libby is just the digital shelf!
Like basically all library services, Libby IS FANTASTIC and people SHOULD be encouraged to use it! But you're misleading people if you frame it like "free Netflix for books" and not "a library service you probably have access to!"
Everything about this!! It is different for every library! The same way every library catalog is different. Also, books may be checked out because it is a library service
Do you currently have a checked out library item in your possession? (Book, ebook, library of things item, etc)

Yes
No
My library has really come in clutch this summer. Months ago I put a few different popular books on hold so I could get on the waiting list. This month, two of them became available within about a week of each other, so I’ve been reading a lot. When I picked up the second book earlier this week I happened to have an hour to kill, and they had a community puzzle sitting out, so I worked on the puzzle for an hour and had a great time. I also checked out a movie I’ve been wanting to see for years, which came in handy yesterday when I decided to have a lazy day because I hadn’t slept well.
Shoutout to the library, man, I love them.
It's becoming clearer that sometimes when I say "use your local library" it's taken as "use a public library" and while that is definitely something you should be doing if you can, I'm usually talking about any library that's accessible to you!! Lending libraries, online libraries, school libraries, all of these are important to use as well!! If you have access to them, use them!! "Your local library" means any library that is local to you!

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!
This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

As someone who works in a Library, I don't think most people actually understand how Libby works. You don't just pay once and give the book out as many times as you'd like...usually you pay for a certain amount of downloads, or a period of time to have the book available. When it runs out, you have to pay again.
i love you archival work. i love you alphabetizing. i love you sorting. i love you reshelving. i love you document restoration. i love you shelf reading. i love you inventorying. i love you analysis. i love you archival work.
Fascism thrives on ignorance and anti-intellectualism. Here are some ways you can combat it:
There is an ongoing literacy crisis. Teach kids how to read phonetically (other methods produce poor literacy) and introduce them to fun books, both fiction and educational non-fiction.
Teach kids about critical thinking and the scientific method.
You can also introduce kids to edutainment like Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, The Magic Schoolbus, Bill Nye The Science Guy, Beakman's World, etc.
Help kids develop media literacy skills by asking them literary analysis questions about the media they engage with. Even very young children can begin learning literary analysis if the questions are phrased in words they can understand.
Learn and help other people learn information literacy, ie, how to locate and evaluate information.
Learn the red flags of pseudoscience, and educate other people about them.
Educate people and share media on real science and real history, because fascist narratives are full of pseudoscience and pseudohistory. (Miniminuteman, Gutsick Gibbon and Bart D. Ehrman's YouTube channel are great, by the way!)
Make learning a joyful experience, and show people the beauty and wonder of what's real. Being a discouraging killjoy will spoil your efforts.

food pantries and food banks are crucial in addressing the basic needs of individuals facing food insecurity. millions of people in america and puerto rico will be affected and have been these past and coming weeks. if you can donate to any of the ones that accept donations, if you have the means and are willing to, i ask you do to protect those who will struggle in these coming weeks. if not, thats okay, please at least share and i hope those who need this now can benefit from the support provided by this list. our communities need union and compassion always.
the plentiful app creates seamless and accesible ways to find food banks and visit them through their app to communicate directly with providers
foodfinder is another source that helps locate local food banks and food pantries
feedingamerica has their own food banks and pantries under their program which one can search for locally here
projectfoodbox offers food boxes curated by dietitians if ones insurance qualifies for it
foodpantries lists more than 16k food pantries, banks and soup kitchens
ampleharvest has local food pantries which accept donations from farmers with a surplus of fresh food
the little pantry helps find small, neighborhood pantries in areas supported by neighbors for free, similarly to the concept of little libraries
freedge helps create or find small groups in which people can share their food supplies and others can accept their surplus of foods locally
yhunger gives resources to young teens and adults in their local areas to help create budget friendly recipes, receive resources and receive any help
too good to go is an app that gives you restaurants, grocery stores and bakeries which sell their unsold foods at a reduced price to prevent food waste
i share these resources for anyone who may need them whether to feed their families through these times or who are willing to volunteer to support their local neighborhoods. many of these are free and need our support in this coming time of need for billions, just getting these out there to people in itself is enough. reblog, share, donate if possible or add on if you know any more resources that can help anyone at this time! 🤍
[ i will soon compile a list for hygienic products, the link would be found here ]
Remember when you could look things up online. Do you remember how we used to search
Yeah, and then everything got paywalled off and all we could read were the headlines.
Which were clickbait bullshit.
They killed reader mode, they burned the 12 feet ladders, they shut down the Internet Archive and they told the morons it was because of AI.
BULL. FUCKING. SHIT.
They did all that for one reason, and one reason only: to extort money from us for just about anything. Want to read an iconic short story written for an American daily newspaper in 1934? Fuck you, pay that daily newspaper that was and still is the property of a global media empire.
And what the greed didn't destroy, egos of randos on a power trip did. When you're told that your question is stupid and you didn't search hard enough, is that really your fault?
I have a lot of good news: They didn't kill reader mode. Reader mode still exists on any mozilla browser as a prominent button next to the save page button, it's the same with bing, and it's only a little hidden in chrome. Internet archive isn't shut down at all, in fact it's showing some of the fastest growth and highest usage it ever has, on top of flourishing donation numbers. OpenLibrary did have a number of books removed (roughly 500,000) which is large, but in its absence: Annas-archive, which is the largest library in the history of written word, is bigger, stronger, and more well funded & used than it ever has been before. It has likely over a petabyte of information while compressed. Uncompressed, the raw data would be staggering. These resources still exist. They have not been killed. they are not weak or feeble. The world is still good.
