I love #PublicLibraries and #Saskatchewan is kinda awesome where all our libraries are one #library. Your branch does not have a book, but it is available in another city? You can request it, and it will get to you at your branch.
Plus they do so much more like providing computer and internet access, borrowing DVDs, #RegionalPark passes and #RadonGas detectors.
#Radon is a higher risk in #WesternCanada, so I borrowed a kit last winter. I was glad to find our risk is low.

Has anyone else in Public Libraries noticed a signficant townturn in Summer Reading participation?

Now, I am in Adult and our Children's department is for the first time in ages, (though that's changing in a few weeks,) fully staffed, but I have had no one ask me about it since it started.

I'm wondering if this is a my branch thing, a "we have shit prizes this year" thing, or a systemic thing.

I know others have said it, but it bears repeating. I've just found that our local library offers free access to the NYT, Washington Post, Washington Journal. They give you a redemption code which you use to create an account on those services. So cool! So be sure to check out what *your* library offers! #library #publiclibraries

* A #zine I made on #Libraries & #Technology where I sounded off abt the #IndieWeb & #Decentralized #SocialMedia.

My final essays:

* " #PublicLibraries & Their ‘Innocuous’ Physical Spaces." (My current obsession for #Severance slipped in (I need a #Foucauldian analysis of Severance so bad omg)).

* #Android 101 for Older Adults" & honestly I'm still trying to figure out what libguides are (I think I could do it better than springshare??)

One thing I’ve been trying to do more lately is go to the library every week. I have couple of books checked out already, so today I got some books for the kid. We’re gonna start reading the Bad Guys series. We did a trial run with a digital version and he loved it! (Yes I’m the annoying parent who makes all the voices while reading books). This is the one thing I truly want to teach my kiddo - love of reading #books #PublicLibraries
