I am a retired academic librarian.
Libraries are a dying institution.
I am glad I am gone.
I own more books than my small town library.
Someone needs to still have books after the woke censors do their damage.
Respect for your service in the pursuit of knowledge. You have seen the transformation from the inside.
I worked at our public library as a page, for three years during high school. It was a great job.
I didn’t use my card for so long it expired. I had to physically go in to get a replacement. I haven’t used it since, despite looking at the catalog AND being able to get books digitally delivered to my devices. Why? I can find almost everything I want online, for free. It isn’t difficult when you are determined.
