Libraries are free, mostly. Pretty much everything millennials are “killing” costs money.

Plus, unlike half the stuff we’re killing, libraries actually have a practical use

Not to be *that* millennial, but as a librarian I’d just like to say that the greatest thing you can do to support your local library is to understand how they are funded and to support their funding with your vote.

Libraries can do a lot all on their own but quite often they cannot legally “toot their own horn” so-to-speak when it comes to advocating for sustaining or increasing funding, getting levies or bond issues passed, etc.  Libraries need you to love them not just with your checkouts and attendance at programs.

We can do that too.

Friendly reminder that many Libraries double function as free schools and other free resources, sometimes including otherwise inaccessible technology, like 3D printers.

The libraries in my city host ‘English as a Secondary Language’ classes, cooking classes, classes on how to use that 3D printer, local history classes, responsible naturalistic gardening classes, beekeeping classes, and all sorts of other fun topics. Plus the plethora of clubs that use the library conference rooms as their meeting place. 

All for free. 

Support and visit your local library. Ask about their services and classes. VOTE TO KEEP THEM FUNDED

I’m a librarian and I can’t stress this enough!

Also a librarian, if my library wasn’t here I’m not actually sure what half the population of the town would do with themselves.

hey! as a librarian, I just want to point of interest something a librarian upthread said - your attendance and check out ARE VERY IMPORTANT! because those are statistics we can show stakeholders – Friends’ groups, city councils, state and federal funding programs, grants, THE PEOPLE PUTTING OUR FUNDING ON BALLOT etc. and people voting! which is you! if we can’t prove people are using our libraries, we don’t get shit from anybody. so please know that we love your use just as much as your votes!

“Wine!”

“Baths!”

“Being outside in the garden!”

“Giant metal coils with flames shooting out!”

“Going to urgent care after their children accidentally drink a bunch of wine and  burn themselves on a giant metal coil with flames shooting out!”

“Yes, yes, these are all good ideas. If only there were a way to combine them all into one essential product…”

“Hang on, Gary…I think I’ve got it!”
