If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.
I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.
And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Facts. Love Adam’s insights
The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”
Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

I've seen a lot of posts lately saying that to support a library, you should get a card. Other things you can do:
1. Be promiscuous in using that card
2. Go to board meetings
3. Join the Friends
4. Demand the books that represent you, you can challenge absent books as much as present ones
5. Donate

Every book lover dreams of a secret library—not just for the aesthetic, but for the joy of being left alone. No interruptions, no small talk. Just peace, quiet, and the thrill of getting lost in another world!
