Do you want to know why
I 💚 libraries so much?

They were my salvation when I had nowhere else to go for answers to my (many) questions.

Libraries informed me of good influences, art, culture, history, music, science, and just whatever general knowledge struck my fancy at the time.

Authors receive a payment every time you borrow a book, audiobook or ebook from libraries in 35 countries. Those countries include the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany to name but a few. Borrowing a book helps the author’s pocket as well as yours.

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I think most librarians are here to spread our gospel: reading, information literacy, and critical thinking.

there are two kinds of writers:

those who write pages of bantering dialogue and realize they didn't describe anything in the scene

and those who write pages of detailed description and realize no one's spoken for eight pages

A quote from one of my favorite novels. This book got me to really think about grief, love, and the inner workings of my own mind. #TheDogsOfBabel #Literature

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Libraries feel like something about which we could very easily be saying, “Remember that place where you could borrow books, for FREE, and return them when you were finished?” And kids would say “What?? No way!” And yet there they still are, despite everything we’ve become, existing. Remarkable.

Very glad people using #booksky introduced me to the Libby application. It’s been great listening to library books on my commutes to the city.

Something I needed to read and need to keep in mind.
bro, I cannot promise you it gets much easier sharing your writing/art, but don't let the intrusive thoughts of "this is terrible, what am I doing?" stop you. we're our own worst critics. I know it's easier said than done. I get it. but you're making this a better place by sharing your creativity.

The best part of working in a library is getting to walk around the library before it opens.

This is exactly me
When a writer says they've outlined their story, what they really mean is they've envisioned 3-4 cool scenes they now need to somehow tie together into a plot

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people
