Not sure who needs to hear this today, but remember, your local public library benefits from being used! Usage statistics are how librarians argue for funding! By using this shared service more, you are making it BETTER for everyone else!

It's the glory of the commons, not the tragedy of the commons. Go to the library!!!

@joannarifkin I love the library. I'm watching a DVD that I checked out earlier this week.

Does checking out e-books help? Because I've been checking out a lot of those! I got into that habit at the start of the pandemic when my local library was closed.

yes, checking out ebooks help, sometimes ebooks licensing is more expensive to libraries than you realize so it helps to let them know people understand how to use them, check them out, & value them
