unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

bonus it ALSO fills that dopamine hit of in-person shopping. “oh I didn’t go in looking for this but hmm, I’m tempted… I can’t resist… oh ho ho I have made some irresponsible decisions at the library today [carrying my stack of ten random books]” and then it doesn’t even matter if you don’t like them because a) free b) you’re gonna give them back anyway

Librarian here! Please please please please PLEASE do this! We don’t have any way to know if you read them, and we don’t care! We’re happy to see those books go out because that helps our stats. And that affects how much money we can get.

So grab that silly paperback romance, and maybe this new YA fantasy, oh and check for the new movies too! And don’t forget to check Libby and hoopla for music and ebooks and e-audio.

#i love that on the check out reciepts for my library it also says how much the books would have cost to buy#because there are days where ive checked out so much it would have been $100-$200#so i really get that big purchase feeling and didnt spend anything via @mossiestpiglet

Yes!!! And you can ask the librarians to look up how much you've saved since signing up! Since I moved to Florida in 2016, I've saved something like $1300 by using our library system for books and dvds!

Yknow that post about that person watchin Parasite expecting there to be an actual flesh parasite monster.

Well I was readin “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison, which is a good book about a man tryna find his way in a world that doesn’t want him after his entire life plan fuckin falls apart (the invisibility in this case is metaphorical).

And I was NOT reading “THE Invisible Man” by H.G. Wells (which does in fact star an actually invisible man)

So I’m readin like ‘damn, this dude fuckin goin through it! The groups of power present truly do not see him as the man he is, but rather what they wish him to be! Making him, metaphorically, invisible!

And then he’s actually gonna turn invisible!!!!”

When I watched School of Rock for the first time, I enjoyed it but kept waiting for the catchy educational songs I've heard people get nostalgic about hearing as kids. I assumed Dewey was at some point going to embrace the teacher role and become, like, rock-music Ms. Frizzle, a role I expected Jack Black would be great in. (Also expected a dewey-decimal pun at some point.) Got to the end of the movie and none of these things ever happened.

Turns out the educational songs are from "Schoolhouse Rock!", and those are not the same thing.
