  1. I did come across this in Spokane, and it is absolutely the coolest damn thing I have seen so far in this trip! Each level of books is a big carousel, so you can have it cycle through and browse all of the available books. #LibrariesAreAwesome

  2. @cykonot The public library here in Athens-Clarke County does this too, and it's a wonderful service! We're not on the list (which you can see here: athenslibrary.org/borrowing/no) because we already offer free admission, but these passes are great for all kinds of people. They also check out ukeleles. 🌴

  3. If you live in Brooklyn/NYC, consider signing up for this free beatmaking workshop at the Brooklyn Public Library.

    "This workshop will cover the fundamentals of building a beat at a beginner level, using MIDI, samples, and synthesizers. [...] Laptops provided."

  4. Just a reminder to subscribe to your local library's newsletter. It's a great way to stay on top of what's going on in your community, learn about the services they offer, and show them that people care.

  5. Happy Library Workers Day!

    "[...] a time to recognize library professionals for their expertise and leadership skills in transforming lives and communities through education and lifelong learning.

    The day also reminds the public that library workers serve as community compasses that lead users to endless opportunities for engagement, enrichment, and development."

  7. Happy #LibraryGivingDay!

    Libraries are awesome, they provide resources, help build communities, and offer a safe space and a sanctuary.

    It's a shared good we have to cherish and support.

    If you have the means, consider donating to your local library!

  8. Posted @withregram • @fvrlibraries From @librarycongress - let’s help them out!

    We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

  9. I'm going to the library to return some books.

    Repeat after me:

    I will not check out more until I've read the ones I still have.
    I will not check out more until I've read the ones I still have.
    I will not check out more until I've read the ones I still have.
