📢Dear beloved authors all. Please include the ISBNs for your titles on your websites. I regularly request that our library system buy your books & it's a real pain in the backside to have to track down the metadata info for your stuff. Thx! 📚💙 #SupportYourLibrary #IndependentBookstores

Now more important than ever.

In the US, there has been an initiative circulating for several years — "Books Unbanned" — to combat censorship and provide digital library access / eCards:

Books Unbanned

Inspired by the American Library Association's Freedom to Read Statement and the Library Bill of Rights, Brooklyn Public Library founded Books Unbanned in 2022 to support the rights of teens nationwide to read what they like, form their own opinions, and work together with peers across the nation to defend and expand the freedom to read.

Schon fast ein Standortvorteil. Mit einer Anmeldung bei der Münchner Stadtbibliothek (20€/Jahr, 10€ ermässigt) kriegt man vollen Zugriff auf Statista, über https://muenchen.overdrive.com lädt man sich englischsprachige ebooks direkt auf dem ebook Reader (bei mir ein PocketBook), Riffreporter kriegt man auch und noch einiges mehr. Lohnt sich :) https://www.muenchner-stadtbibliothek.de

There was no sense of impending doom in any of the libraries, only a sense of commitment to the local community. Lots of flyers on bulletin boards for counseling sessions, pride month celebrations, concert notices, housecleaning help, or art contests.
Hopefully we’ll be able to keep all 66 of these facilities open and thriving in the communities they serve so well.

Love Stephen King. He'd scare me, too, though. 😁

Gestern habe ich von @riffreporter gehört und bin dem Account mal gefolgt. Heute der erste Beitrag in der Timeline und ich muss feststellen, dass eine recht harte Paywall verwendet wird. Ein Abo wollte ich mir nicht holen, da ich den Service nicht testen konnte. Doch dann! Die Stadtbibliothek München hat einen Bibliothekszugang und somit habe ich Zugriff auf alle Artikel. Danke Stadtbibliothek München!
