Libraries are incredible and deserve lots more funding
@phocks Every day is Christmas at the library and a good librarian is a mixture of Santa Claus and Sherlock Holmes.
@phocks could not agree more. Only place I can enter and no one hassles me to buy something. Just good old information separated between fiction and nonfiction (unlike the internet)

@phocks

The Internet Archive deserves some peace from bullshit attacks too.

@phocks Local libraries are funded if more people actually use them again.
@phocks Yes they do! We use ours a lot.

@phocks

I am a librarian, and I approve this message.

@phocks I live in Europe and free public libraries are the one of the few things I can point Europeans to as an example of true American exceptionalism.
@phocks omg there's this library in Potrero Hill that has this upstairs like gallery? almost?with a row of chairs that face these huge windows looking out over the whole city and it's just magic
@enantiomer @phocks Cool! I must visit this library. SF has some of the nicest libraries.

@markkrueg @phocks

speaking of libraries: please enjoy my favorite short story which is about a fox in a library
