Soso, von kurz vor Eins bis viertel Sechs hab ich heute knapp 8000 Schritte getan. Ich war in der Stadt unterwegs und brachte Bücher ins Öffentliche Bücherregal, machte ein paar Bilder mit der in der neuen Tasche verstauten Kamera, war in ein paar Läden und erstand auch noch etwas, das ich auf den Märkten gut gebrauchen kann.

If you're looking for a #Streaming alternative you might want to see if your #PublicLibrary offers #Hoopla or something similar. The library pays for each checkout, so I think artists are compensated but I can't confirm that. And it probably doesn't have the selection of the bigger platforms. But they've got the complete #BeBopDeluxe catalog. That's enough to keep me happy for a while! 🎶 👍 😁 #BillNelson #Music #ClassicRock #ArtRock #ProgRock

Video rental shops aren't the only (or best) places to get physical media. For several years, I've used my local #publicLibrary for this.
For example, I wanted to watch #TheMandalorian and #Andor, but I avoid #DisneyPlus. I played the long game & waited for those series to be released on #DVD or #Bluray. Then I waited for my #library to get them. Finally, I checked them out from the library for #free & enjoyed them without paying #Disney anything.

#OldTownME #PublicLibrary - What is a #SeedLibrary?
"A Seed Library is a community-driven resource where people can borrow seeds, grow them, and then return some of the harvest’s seeds to share with others. It's a fantastic way to promote biodiversity, sustainability, and self-sufficiency within our community. By participating, you contribute to the preservation of unique, locally-adapted plant varieties while helping others grow their own food.
How It Works
- Borrow Seeds: Visit our Seed Library and browse through the available varieties. Choose the seeds that fit your gardening space and needs.
- Plant and Grow: Take the seeds home and plant them! We provide helpful gardening tips and instructions to help you grow your plants successfully.
- Save and Return Seeds: At the end of the growing season, save seeds from your healthiest, most productive plants. Then, return these seeds to the library for others to borrow.Why Participate in Our Seed Library?
- Promote #Biodiversity: Help preserve and propagate locally-adapted plants.
- Access to Free Seeds: #Gardening should be accessible to everyone, and we believe in removing barriers like seed cost.
- #Sustainable Gardening: By saving and sharing seeds, we create a cycle of sustainability that benefits the environment and community.
- Build #Community: Our Seed Library fosters collaboration, education, and a deeper connection with nature and neighbors.
What Seeds Do We Offer?We offer a wide variety of seeds that are well-suited to our local climate and conditions. Some of the seed varieties we offer include:
- Vegetables: Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, carrots, and more!
- Herbs: Basil, oregano, thyme, mint, and rosemary.
- Flowers: Sunflowers, zinnias, marigolds, and other #PollinatorFriendly flowers.
- #NativePlants: Local species that support #pollinators and other #wildlife."FMI - https://old-town.lib.me.us/index.asp?SEC=2CC0E559-E0E2-4CF2-9BA3-39BD33F05269

Vancouver Public Library, taking your knowledge to greater heights.
One of my fav places. I just recently rediscovered the joy of spending time there after not going for so long.
They offer so many great free events and workshops. And I love hanging out there to work on my creative projects.
Public libraries are the best! And the VPL central branch is an architectural gem on top of it!#library #libraries #PublicLibrary #Vancouver #YVR #VancouverPublicLibrary #VPL #architecture

Charlotte’s $137M Uptown library delayed to 2027 – Axios Charlotte
Oct 10, 2025 – News
Sneak peek: Uptown’s $137M, five-story delayed library
GIF: Alexandria Sands/AxiosConstruction is progressing, though behind schedule, on Charlotte Mecklenburg Library’s five-story Uptown branch at 6th and North Tryon streets. The $137 million flagship location is now slated to open in spring 2027, later than the 2026 target.
Why it matters: The main library — a free, critical community resource — has been closed for four years now. Once reopened, leaders expect a million visitors in the first year, making the 115,000-square-foot branch a major Uptown destination.
Driving the news: Project leadersgave reporters a tour Friday of construction progress on the first two floors. Caitlin Moen, library director, attributed the delay to meticulous work necessary to ensure the building’s longevity.
- “This iconic building is something that’s not been built before,” Moen said. “As we try to bring this vision to life, but also ensure that 50-year lifespan, we are doing our due diligence.”
Zoom in: Moen said the features reflect what community members said they wanted in their modern library, including:
- 15 meeting rooms for two to 40 people
- A 225-person, top-floor event space
- A reading room with views
- A courtyard and two outdoor terraces
- Lowe’s Technology Lab with public computers and two laptop dispensing stations with 12 laptops each
- The Bank of America Opportunity Center, offering resume assistance, digital skills training and job support
- A parking deck, built and financed by Mecklenburg County, at the corner of 7th and College streets
Between the lines: The main library is geared more toward adults, since ImaginOn, the flagship children’s and teen library, is two blocks away.
Catch up quick: Mecklenburg County provided $72.33 million for the project. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation still has $8 million to raise in private support to cover the remaining $65 million.
- The construction is on the same site as the original 1903 Carnegie Library. Mecklenburg County’s first free library was rebuilt in 1956, renovated and expanded in 1989, and torn down in 2023 to make way for this modernized version.
Zoom out: The library is expected to accelerate this corner of Uptown’s metamorphosis. It’s right next to the newly renovated Carolina Theatre, which is now hosting movie nights and large speaker events.
- Mecklenburg County had planned a major overhaul of the land surrounding the library, but the master developer for the public-private redevelopment, called Seventh and Tryon, backed out.
- The county isn’t seeking a new master developer anytime soon due to “development market volatility and uncertainty,” a spokesperson told Axios.
Take a look around the construction site: Tryon Plaza

The Crack Squad of #Librarians Who Track Down Half-Forgotten Books
Reuniting stumped readers with the books from the edges of their memories.
by Jessica Leigh Hester, published August 2018
Excerpt: "A few years ago, staffers in the New York #PublicLibrary’s reader services division drafted a blog post about how to track down a book when its title eludes you. This post spurred a follow-up, in which reader services librarian Gwen Glazer recommended library resources and a number of other strategies (among them are Goodreads groups, a sprawling Reddit thread called whatsthatbook, an indie bookseller in Ohio who is happy to poke around for a $4 fee). Thanks to Google—“how to find a book”—many stumped people seem to land on that post, and they have often written about their enduring puzzles in the comments section. The messages now number in the thousands. Glazer says she often arrives at work to see another 10 title requests.
"To solve these little mysteries, Glazer assembled a team of sleuths from across the branches: Chatham Square, in Chinatown; the Jefferson Market, in Greenwich Village; the Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library, near the Flatiron Building; and the Mulberry Street branch, in Nolita. At lunchtime on a Wednesday in 2018, they were gathered in that computer lab in the library’s offices—across the street from the soaring, spectacular Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (the Main Branch)—to nibble on homemade lemon rosemary cookies and apple, carrot, zucchini bread while they clattered away on their keyboards. Other members of the team participated remotely. The '#TitleQuest' #hackathon was underway."

Mason from #KPL visited New York at the age of 12 to record omnidirectional sounds on the Tascam.
Today he and Christina recirded #library sounds and used Mason's fave #daw #LogicPro to crank out this interesting library sounds song in a half hour.
They chatted about how the majority of most #music-related #libraryTech programs are spent troubleshooting.
Told them i was considering #Ardour but hope one day to have a #foss mobile digital audio workstation with #mpe
Any thoughts on how we can move a few steps up the #freedomLadder at a #publicLibrary?

#WweNxt is almost over and i missed the first hour because i was attending an #accesible #music #creation seminar held in the new branch of the #Kitchener #PublicLibrary #KPL where the presenter used a #vochlea #dubler
Also got to talk to an #onlineEducation specialist named Kyle who is based out of #Guelph #Ontario, as was the musician, who has their music published in some #musicLibraries which helped them get their music on some notable television series'. They used #Logic and had logic's "session musicians" (with some crowd input) create the backing tracks they sung over.
Earlier in the day i got to talk with my friend Sukh who was excited to learn the #Artiphon #Orba
