I love everything about this!

Im trying to cut off my movie streaming subscriptions and wanted to support my library instead to save. Today I went to the library and borrowed some DVDs and when I went to the front to check out, they said DVDs are a dollar. I was surprised that my library charges for dvd rental because i thought they would be free. Now im wondering if would it be worth it to borrow DVDS from the library for a fee or just pay for the streaming subscriptions?

I'm admittedly quite fond of this city's (Hamilton, Ontario) public library system. I'm a partcularly avid user of their makerspace.

Had the thought to make a card sleeve based on their bookmobile. It serves areas in the city without a branch nearby, and more importantly, retirement homes.

23 colours. If you count the clear vinyl over the window and headlights, black mesh, and the impossible to make out white mesh, in the grill, there are seven separate pieces. Drawing it in Adobe Illustrator took 11½ hours, turning it into an embroidery file with Wilcom Digitizer took 2½ hours. Running it on a Brother PRS100, was 6¼ hours. Sewing it all together by hand was 62¾ hours.

Few little glitches and flaws. Text is at the absolute lowest limits in terms of size. Bunch of things I had to omit because they were too small. Nature of the medium. Omitted the windshield wipers because sewing them onto vinyl would have been painful.

A historic library in New Orleans. I couldn’t get more pictures due to me not wanting to get strangers in my pics.

I mean seriously! Why are librarians so efficient. It's like they enjoy what they do and like being efficient. When I put a hold on a book on the app it is sort of a, "I would like to read this in the next few months, hopefully, I don't really mind, I'm kidding I want to, but yeah just add it to my future books to enjoy."

And then they are ready the next day. And that means I need to find the time to get my butt in the car and drive up there and bring a grocery bag or something, because like 10 books are ready.

I mean God damn! It is almost like public services are good. I guess.

I mean, librarians could you like get a hobby, or something?

That's it. That is the rant.

Yes, this is tongue in cheek. Mostly.

yes, I got the DVD only to watch the Commentaries Only along with MLP: FiM that I got

starting next week, I’ll turn it in after watching it all

If you haven’t listened to the If Books Could Kill podcast I highly recommend it! I saw this display and thought you folks might enjoy it :)

I’m looking for a good library or study space around Clifton/DHA, preferably as close to Clifton Block 2 as possible.

I mainly need somewhere quiet where I can sit and study for a few hours. A proper library would be ideal, but I’m also open to study lounges or other quiet spaces.

Would appreciate recommendations, especially if you’ve personally used the place. Please mention the membership/day charges, timings, WiFi, and overall environment if you know them.

Thanks!

This public library in Mansfield, Connecticut is wonderful with a lot of cool amenities. It's not too far from the UConn campus.

It has a Little Free Pantry, Toy Library, Board games & puzzles, A cool quilt representing books, a display of Banned Books and an ongoing book sale. There's so much more to offer. There is a full-fledged book sale which takes place twice a year. They just had one this past weekend.

Feedback is appreciated!

Check out my newest book display at my local library in Vernon-Rockville, CT

Here are some familiar faces on the back covers of books they previously wrote.

Have you read anything by these authors? Who is your favorite author?

I hope you enjoy this book display. Have a great day!

One fact about libraries in Connecticut: You can use your own library card (from the town you live in) at any public library in the state of Connecticut. You can borrow a book from one library and then return it to another and have it brought back to the original destination.

My high school librarian is amazing, and stepped into the role a few years ago after our last librarian left. It seems like a pretty stressful job, and she is seriously so kind and supportive. Are there any awards or grants I can nominate her for?
