They are under constant attack from this regime and many state governments. So many libraries (and librarians!) are gone now, or struggling, or greatly reduced. By design.

I still remember a "Dittohead" co-worker in the 90's who would echo Rush Limbaugh's complaints about Libraries being socialism and unfair burdens on the townsfolk.

My local library has a 3D printer lab to use free of charge (they accept donations for the filament though) and I'm anxious for the pool next door to it to finally open after years of renovation.

That'll be the perfect combination.

Whatever else happens, you have a place to go when you need it. Similar to a Japanese capsule hotel, and as automated as possible. That would take a lot of the pressure off people.

Of course such a facility does exist in every county. It's intentionally made as unpleasant as possible so nobody voluntarily uses it, even though making it unpleasant is expensive. It's the county jail.

It has a total disregard for people with visual impairments. It takes up more bandwidth than the actual text. It's juvenile like something your grandmother might share on Facebook.

I'm a bitch. I just blocked that account. I'm blocking a lot of cancels lately.

I don't boost it because I think it's stupid. No matter how much I agree with the sentiment, it is somehow lowered in its value by being rendered as an image instead of screen readable text.

The total amount of work, both human and computer, it must have taken to publish this image with the alt-text being exactly what the image reads is mind-bogglingly greater than just posting the alt-text as is in a post.

Why bother?

If you keep a book long enough though, they will charge you the full price to replace it, as my forgetful son recently learned. But that's several months, and the charge was erased when he returned it.

Years ago, a local would send out notices about overdue books. Their last notice was "This is your final notice" . And you never heard from them again.
