  Reminder to vote for any library funding levy in your area. They depend on it to stay open.

  Ebooks for the win. I “go to” my library all the time by finding an ebook on Libby and downloading to a reader

    My local library doesn’t use Libby, and it makes me want to riot every time I think about it. They use another app called cloudLibrary, which is inferior in every way; It doesn’t even have e-reader support. You’re forced to read the books on your phone or desktop, because cloudLibrary refuses to integrate with third-party services like Amazon or B&N for kindle or nook.

  I only use my card for software access.

  With just Libby, Hoopla, and Mango Languages, The card has saved me thousands of dollars.

  I got a library card when I moved to this town and haven’t showed up there since.

  They’ll also give you New York Times access for when the paywall bypass stops working

  But how are they doing that without any profit motive?
