Great idea for a sign.

the movies & TV shows on Hoopla are not really the same as those on Netflix HOWEVER the audiobook services via the public library are SO much better than audible -- my local library has audiobooks through Hoopla, Libby, and Cloud Library, between the 3 of them you can find pretty much anything
@peachfront I'm lucky to get some things on DVD, too. One thing I've noticed on Hoopla that I really like is having the first sentence of some audiobook descriptions say, "This audiobook is narrated by an AI voice."..

@peachfront @Quasit @stefan great idea!

I like it! Maybe instead of just listing platforms, this could have links to specific servers running those platforms?
To give people a more concrete "call to action"? Just a thought.

I considered that, but the URLs are fairly long. Maybe a QR code for a single website would be better? I'm not sure how to make one.

@Quasit How to make a website, or a QR code?
I'd be happy to help put something together that you can host on https://neocities.org.
And any free QR code generator should do, here's one that looks okay:

Or you could use one of these to make the website:

Thanks, these are great ideas!
I guess what we need to do is either find or make a website that makes it incredibly simple to sign up for whichever services a person is interested in, no matter how ignorant of technology they are. But that does seem to be the stumbling block when it comes to mass adoption of Fediverse services.

@tehstu barely related..if your library has Kanopy, one of the free (no tickets) borrows my husband and I both really liked was Grass...

#librariesI love my library and I love Libby. I wish we had the other things listed. Those sound awesome.

@ShadesofRaye some libraries are better funded than others, which is just wrong

I'd like to see a non-library alternatives sign too!
Twitter/X = Mastodon
Facebook = Mastodon
Reddit = Lemmy
Spotify = FunkWhale
GoodReads = BookWyrm.social
YouTube = PeerTube -

I like https://justaqrcode.com (which I found out about on Mastodon)
It encodes only the text you enter, with no redirects or tracking added

@mtechman
Yes, our town libraries are privately owned =\ so that's a whole thing. But I have a county library card as well and it's a large wealthy county so I feel like it should offer more of these. -

#libraries@mtechman so glad to see more people sharing this stuff, I just signed up for my local library and it’s crazy how much free stuff they offer simply for having a library card!

There are lots of places to post fliers. My library has racks right by the front door for that sort of thing. And there are places that have bulletin boards where you can post flyers, too!
@Quasit
Some parts of some towns are also fairly tolerant of posting on lampposts and such, especially college towns.
