→ Of course, there are other benefits, like books and video games, and you can even ”borrow“ seeds and plant a nice field of strawberries. I’m almost ashamed that I have to pay so little. Support your public libraries!

I didn’t have a subscription to a movie/tv streaming service in 2024 and I won’t have one in 2025. I just renewed my annual subscription to the public library for 25 bucks. It has an insane selection of movies and tv shows. It’s almost like a good old video store, only without the stench of cigarettes, and porn. The catalogue lists 16.633 DVD and Blu-ray, which I honestly find hard to believe. →

Une splendide bibliothèque croisée par hasard sur Kennington Lane à Londres. Ce bâtiment néogothique (“with North Italian and Flemish attributes” nous précise sa fiche sur le site des services du patrimoine) date de 1889 et est l’œuvre de Sidney R. J. Smith, l’architecte de la Tate (qui est vachement moins jolie, honnêtement). Juillet 2023.

Anyone in #Ohio that enjoys the #PublicLibrary should alert every #OhioHouse member you can the proposed budget change of removing the #PublicLibraryFund ( #PLF ) is unacceptable. It amounts to losses in millions of dollars in #library #funding for all of our #Libraries. First the #Republicans killed #IMLS and now they're trying to cut budgets at the state level. My local library, #TLCPL, has posted more information. If you're an #Ohioan, now is the time to act.
