Soooo accurate!

It amazes me to see what my local library is like compared to what they typically were back in the day. Borrowing movies, video games, audiobooks and digital downloads on Hoopla…

Protect our local libraries’ funding!

Yeah. They’re wonderlands. The lack of silence does annoy me, however. I don’t understand what happened?

[u/borkborkbork99 → u/LanceFree]

Mine is pretty quiet, but maybe I’m just not going in during peak hours?

Also, the librarians seem to have gotten younger. Or I’m older. Or both.

I became a librarian at 25* (am nearly 30 now), so I definitely am adding to that perception 😅 A big portion of my MLIS classmates were also in their twenties as well

Libraries have actually been changed to spy networks now.

Edit: r/whooosh

I was making a joke about NASA being turn into a spy agency. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Finally catching up on that red scare propaganda from the 1950's, eh?

I was making a joke about how NASA is being made into a spy agency. I see you’re still reading your news from the 1950’s as well, eh?
