i got a card just for the digital stuff (i can’t take out books that don’t automatically return, i have a book hoarding problem) and it’s been great. but the most unexpected thing was checking out pressreader and finding out they have Fortean Times. it’s my favorite magazine but it’s big and british and like 12$ a pop. based on that alone i’m gonna donate!

i am also not a plant but did want to be a librarian for a long time.

For sure! They don't get enough credit ! Modern one even do a great job at teach basic computer classes.

In my experience they have been the calmest nicest people excepct like one angry old lady at the central branch that seems to be annoyed when people even talk to her.

but 99 out of 100 are some of the best humans you will ever meet - i love people that are into books it says a lot about them too so im biased.
