Libraries and librarians are under attack in the States (mostly republican states) where the haters are trying to and succeeding in banning books they think are pro-LGBTQ or in anyway don't tow their party line. It is frightening.
I'm old enough to remember the days before there was a computer in every home. The library was often the place to go to get online. My two kids spent a lot of time at our local library when they were growing up. It was a favourite place to go on Saturday morning with them.
Love libraries. Always have. I agree that libraries are one of the only places in this commodified, consumerist, capitalist world where we can find something for free...
I have worked in libraries and have always loved them! My favorite job! I checkout piles of books from my library and never have to buy a book. Hooray for libraries!!
I love this so much! I love my public library. I have saved all of my old library cards over the course of my life (sentimental rubbish but at least they don't take up much space.) My dream when I was a youngster was to be the Bookmobile librarian - but not the one pictured above! I could never afford to read as much as I do if it weren't for the public library. Worth the tax dollars!
Also, the memes are on point and hilarious. Thank you, Debra!
St. Louis County is rebuilding its whole library system. We are getting a new main library and most of the local libraries are having major upgrades or are being torn down and totally rebuilt.
I used to spend hours in the library and I’d always volunteer to help put books away When I became a stay at home mum one of the first things I did was join th local library. As soon as the kids were old enough they got their own cards. It was a fortnightly trip to the library that helped me keep my sanity in those days
I love libraries! Comes from my childhood ~ I used to spend hours in ours ~ especially on the top floor, where they kept the oldest books, and the newspapers and magazines... No other smell like that! Thanks for bringing back a cherished memory!
Love all of the library memes. Thank you. We are big fans of our local library. We easily have up to 50 books on our shelves right now from the library. The kiddos are voracious readers and love making trips down there to find their next adventures.
Movies are fun time pass but books oh my they are insightful,life maker and island to exist eagerly :) Profound and beautiful dear Debra thanks Hugs and blessings
Actually, libraries and the Internet can coexist quite nicely. Though ever since the beginning of the pandemic I've mostly used a home computer, and will continue to do so in the future, for 12 years before that I did my blog and anything else that needed to be done on the Internet on a library computer. Go to any library these days and you'll see everything is centered around the computer section. Nice thing to have if you can't afford a computer or your computer breaks down.
Libraries are great places to find secret passages. Don't be afraid, just follow your question. Most of the time, you will be sent to the Dewey Decimal system. It is nothing to be afraid of. I have had good experiences with libraries and librarians. Ook.
Forwarding this post to my librarian daughter in London. The secret door in the library is everyone's secret dream I think. If I had the money, I would build a huge house with turrets, and secret doors and hidden hallways. Just for fun.
Schrodinger's cat and Pavlov's dog, genius.
ReplyDeleteLove getting lost in the stacks.
ReplyDeleteThe librarian sleep machine. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteI must have lived to read, I got the joke in the last one.
ReplyDeleteAnother for my collection of Schroedinger's cat jokes! Noted. I love all my libraries.
ReplyDeleteOMG ... I love them all and especially the little librarian in the little lending library!
ReplyDeleteI hope Steve Reed reads your blog today! LOL

ReplyDeleteBig fan of libraries here! Our son was called "the library baby" because we spent so much time there with him!

ReplyDeleteThe biker library jacket is awesome. Where can I get one of those. Kidding aside, I love my library.
ReplyDeleteGreat ones! All so true.
ReplyDeleteLibraries are just the BEST places.

So incredible that you can put up a collection of memes for librarian too
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes for libraries; and curse those who dare to suppress them.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to find a secret passage.
ReplyDeleteMy first job was in a library. Bought English language books for Freiberger Library, WSRU.
ReplyDeleteThere still messing with our library. I mention it in my Feb 15 2023 post.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
If I ever win lotto and build a house there will definitely be secret passages in the library!
ReplyDeleteMovies are fun time pass but books oh my they are insightful,life maker and island to exist eagerly :)

These are all so good except for that last one. Yeah, it was bad. Such a groaner.
ReplyDeleteDamn right.
ReplyDeleteLOL ~ You know I loved the last one, Debra. Libraries are magical places. Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteLibraries are endangered things, quite worrying. It seems when cuts have to be made those in power look for easy targets.
ReplyDeletePavlov's dog and Schrodinger's car - Ooooh, you can't resist a pun.
ReplyDeletethe Ol'Buzzard
Being librarian would have been my dream job at a time. Oh and I so want to have a secret passage hidden behind bookshelves.

The one with the secret passage! Yes, please. I'd LOVE to experience that.
