I have more than one, too

Please also keep buying physical media, too. There’s a big push to move us to subscriptions and curated music and movie lists. Just say no.

A library card opens up unmanageable worlds that will amaze you, you can learn so many things, be taken back to fight in historic battles, or taken to the future and see what may happen there. I'm an avid reader and reading either fiction or non fiction books is my escape from the world we know.

What BreeintheDesert said. Any CA resident can get a card / privileges from any CA public library (although you have to physically walk in, in person, to do that).

Great shit!

My librarian buddy says you can get a card for any town in California. I have SF, Oakland & Hayward.

Perhaps you should change the fucking retard constitution fucking retards americans.

THANK YOU FOR THE ARTICLE. I’m begging everyone to get a library card, even if you don’t use it.
But I promise you will love having it and you’ll use it ♥️

Don’t ignore online library resources—SF public libraries have some of THE best online resources. I voraciously consume new eBooks and audio books, all without giving a dime to Amazon/Audible. (And as all my librarian friends tell me, if you have an SF library card—keep it!)

Dude - No offense intended whatsoever but have to ask ... you're named after a Jonny Quest character or just coincidence?

racebannon.bsky.social•34 days ago

No offense taken. It's my name. Online and in day-to-day life. I might have loved the show when I was a kid. 😊

breeinthedesert.bsky.social•34 days ago

You can! As a California resident you can get a library card at any library in California ☺️

Same rule in Ohio! :)

Les livres et BD empruntés des bibliothèques s'ajoutent aux nôtres papiers et ebook. Ma compagne et moi fréquentons la Bibliothèque des Riches Claires de la Ville Bruxelles, celle du CERIA où je fus prof et chargé de cours et celle de l'ULB, notre alma mater

It’s so nice to be able to link multiple accounts to libby, especially for new releases. I love seeing who has the shorter hold list seattle or king county…

I am a retired school librarian. A mother tried to get 'Watership
Down" banned. Didn't happen.
My mom was also a school librarian. No one dared to suggest banning any book from her library.

I orderd a SF book through them last week. Good people and a great source of knowledge.

Good to hear it.

Libraries are often serene retreats and, best of all, they smell like books.

umpireplb.bsky.social•33 days ago

I was 27 years old and my mom was driving me to my little league games. She got tired of that and hired someone to teach me how to drive, and I learned, and 45 years on, I drive 30,000-40,000 miles a year to my games & tournaments all over the country, still love it, and it all began at that library

umpireplb.bsky.social•33 days ago

The then-California Angels played their spring training games at the little stadium right behind that library on Sunrise and Baristo. My mom and I spent many a happy afternoon there, then she would drive me to my little league games because as a New Yorker, I hadn't learned to drive yet.

umpireplb.bsky.social•33 days ago

That library is where my 45-year umpiring career began, Race! I borrowed some books about baseball and my mom mistakenly thought I wanted to be an umpire because one of the books was about umpires - how weird, right? So she suggested I apply to the local little league, and I did, and here we are.

LET’S GOOOOO

Some people in Florida are still sane and sharing knowledge! Thank you, Palm Springs Library!!!
