Libraries are just amazing.

I’m on the other side of the world in a lovely public library in Australia & spotted a book I co-wrote 14 years ago. And no matter where you are, librarians are always the kindest, most helpful people you’ll find. Still, somehow, this magical system of exchanging #books & sharing ideas is entirely free.

@Sheril I very much fear that if libraries didn't exist, but somebody came up with the idea today, it would be shouted down as "socialism," "elitism," "unfair competition," and "government overreach." Which is why we need to fight for them.
