Great idea for a sign. Instead of ____ , try _____ from the library!
#libraries@mtechman Somehow, I'd never heard of most of those! Which caused me to end up on my local library's website and discover that they have a whole bunch of other stuff I was unaware of.
Thanks for the nudge!
-
@mtechman My pleasure!
Now I'm realizing I should maybe try to squeeze this table into https://jointhefediverse.net/zine somehow. Hmm. That's going to be tough.

Instead of 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 Video, try 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐲 - free with your library card.

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

@drakakis Yes! Not every library has it, but I've got out-of-area card for Queens (NY) and it's got Kanopy!

@kamellatate @drakakis Agree! And my husband watches some good horror (I can't) on Kanopy.

Actually sticking signs like that up at libraries and such might increase Fediverse adoption!
-
@Quasit Maybe!
Personally, I think people are better off promoting their favorite communities. Helps with the "pick a server" conundrum.
Luckily, I have a tool for that as well.
If you're interested!

#libraries@mtechman The only thing - the _only_ thing I don't like about these services is the data collected by the companies that provide the services, unlike libraries which do not retain patron's borrowing records after the items are returned.

#librariesthe 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
-
make them into bookmarks and have a stack of bookmarks ready at the desk to be handed out

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!
