This Is My Glasgow<p>Ghost sign for Glasgow's Stirling's Public Library on 54 Miller Street. Established in 1791 using a bequest from Walter Stirling, which included his books and his house at 7 Miller Street, this was one of the first public libraries in the city. Since then, the library has move to a number of locations around the city (including here at 54 Miller Street) and can currently be found in the basement of the Gallery of Modern Art on Royal Exchange Square.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ghostsign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ghostsign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/publiclibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publiclibrary</span></a></p>

Melinda from Atlanta<p>Another reason to get a library card! I've never been an audiobook listener, in part because I didn't want to give Amazon any more of my money, and I never tried Libby, an app that at least some local libraries use for ebooks and audiobooks. The Fulton County Library System is now using The Palace Project, and after I figured out how to log in (not super intuitive) was able to download an audiobook which will replace podcast scrolling while I'm walking the dog or doing yardwork.
