so excited for an oxventure battle royale,, i cannot wait to see who Shenigans their way into winning

as an ace majoring in information science, with a plan to eventually get an MLIS and become a librarian, i support this plan

So, I was thinking about voting in the US election at the library Tuesday. I have also found out that they rent video games and I've been hankering lately to play Resident Evil like i did when I was younger. I just hope they have a copy for PS4.

The library is less than a mile from my house, I'm desperately trying to save money, and I also have large swaths of alone time now that I'm single. I need to start hanging out there, I think. I have fond memories of the library in the town I grew up in in Ohio.

Maybe if more of us asexuals and aromantics embrace our identities, we can start a library revolution and save them. It's one of the last spaces you can visit where you don't have to spend money. Now that I'm single, I have time for this.

If I ever win the lottery, I'm donating a shit ton of money to the library.

QUICK. RB THIS WITH THE FIRST SONG LYRIC THAT COMES TO YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU SEE THIS POST. THAT IS AN ORDER

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library's complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

Happy International asexuality Day! Be ace, do crime, drink aced tea!

'due to the impact of the strike' NO. THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE. DO NOT TRY TO SHIFT THE BLAME ONTO THE WRITERS AND ACTORS. FOCUS ON NETFLIX- THEYRE THE ONES WHO CANCELLED THE SHOW AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
