Community is everything, and libraries are at the heart of community & learning especially for poorer people. Many famous people have said that public libraries were important in their childhood
They were in mine, & I'm not famous!
Or replace us with AI!!

Reminds me of my favourite quote “Books crowbar the world open for you” is a quote by Katherine Rundell

Expect you can't change history in a Library book unlike Wikipedia.
I like to think that my 42 years on the job were a positive influence. Still learning, still promoting critical thinking and spreading wisdom.
patrons of all ages and walks of life use our libraries regularly in Orange County, NY & surrounding counties.
By the tens of thousands yearly per library.
#Libraries do and offer far more than you presently realize.
We also deliver library materials to disabled persons, host events, book discussions, art exhibits, and lectures for all ages.
My library is also a Federal Depository.
Public libraries surprise people all the time these days!
Homelessness is a very serious situation, and it should be met with empathy, community support, certainly not denigration or dismissal.
Not everyone has prospered in this economy.
A little sympathy goes a long way.
We work daily to meet the informational needs of our communities via research assistance, online access, critical thinking tips, reader advisories, story time, literacy building, public events/classes, local history, & more.

we actually care very deeply about what people need and will go the extra 100 miles to get the information.
We're also part of a collective of libraries, sharing resources, expertise, and more.

We do this for regular, electronic, audio, and video materials.
Unlike the "The Internet," our resources are orderly and attuned to communities, enriching and empowering people.

Whenever I get the chance, I encourage people to visit their local libraries to inquire about events, services, and getting a card.
The public library's mission is to benefit everyone! 😇

Thanks to librarians, too, for their help and knowledge when answering user's questions.
Yet another reason I ♥️ Finland!

Always helpful, organising events for kids, Easter, Christmas etc and even a warm place with coffee and tea/biscuits for who needs to walk in...
Those that are far and near
THANK YOU for our libraries
You’d be missed of you weren’t here
The Toronto Public Library is the largest and busiest free public library in North America.
In 2022 it eliminated late fines, removing a barrier to access and making the library more welcoming to all.

And you may also be able to add more options if you can sign up via your college library - even as an alumni. https://www.kanopy.com/
Now that’s where I get my booooks.
That was my last trip to the library
maybe that was their objective in the long run
Cutting their nose off to spite their face.
Because this guy does.
