This is the scene you walk up to at my library. How sad, how depressing and one day, oh hopefully soon, we can enter our libraries again.
Cinfhen That is depressing 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Cinfhen 😔 ring a doorbell and wait for them to look at your library card through the window, go away, come back with your books, throw them on the table and run away. It really is depressing. Screams inaccessible and stay away. 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Cinfhen but to be fair the librarians are nothing but kind and friendly like always, it's just awful looking at it like this. 3y

Cinfhen Yes, I‘m all #TeamLibrarians 💜💜💜🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 3y
rabbitprincess Same with our libraries. I paused all my print holds for the duration of the stay-at-home order so that I could avoid having to do this. I also didn‘t like the idea of waiting in line outside, likely with people who don‘t know how to follow distance markers 😬 3y
quirkyreader Our libraries have been closed since March of 2020. But they do offer curb side pick up. Is this in Ontario? If so I‘m waving from the other side of The Friendship Bridge. 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @quirkyreader 👋 hi from across the bridge! Yes, its Windsor, Ontario! 😊 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @rabbitprincess when I've gone there hasn't been anyone else around so that's been a great thing! 3y
Magpiegem Our libraries in the UK are completely closed. They did open for self service (no staff) for a little while in summer but now we are back to not even being able to return the books we have. I‘m missing it so much. 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Magpiegem 😔❤ when ours completely closed it was tough! It was such a hard thing to come to terms with. The library books I had sat here and had dust all over them. I am thankful we can at least have access to books even though it's not the very very best. 3y
Booknerd2 Mine just reopened to browsing, it‘s been curbside pick up for months. They only shut down completely for 6 weeks. They are amazing! 💜💜💜 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Booknerd2 you realize how much you depend on them when you can't use them! 💕 3y
MsMelissa I‘m suffering serious book store withdrawal 😫. Ordering online is great and all, but I want to peruse the aisles. 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Book_Fiend_Melissa YES!!! Me too!! 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Book_Fiend_Melissa curbside pickup for that sucks too. I don't know what I want - I need to bowse! 😝 3y
MsMelissa Exactly! How else am I going to find out what‘s out there to read? 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Book_Fiend_Melissa 👍😁 3y
