I was ecstatic when I found the local library branch was only 1 block from my new place. Getting my library card was one of the first things I did when I moved here.

MoonWitch94 I am forever jealous of folks who have great libraries. My library is a huge, beautiful building that serves my town (population 70K) and it‘s useless. They don‘t have many new releases, they only purchase one or two copies if they DO and they have a very limited ebook selection, too. All that money for nothing 😔 And if you donate books, they sell them. Not fill empty selves with books! 1y
claudiuo I live in an area that has a good library but the next county over has one of the best library systems in the country. Since I am not a resident, I pay to get access and I don't have a problem at all to do so, it is well worth. I love the selection, especially the ebooks and audiobooks. 1y
wanderinglynn @MoonWitch94 that‘s disappointing. It is a benefit to live in a large metro area. My local branch isn‘t all that big, but it‘s one of 26 branches in DC. So their catalog is rather extensive. 1y

wanderinglynn @claudiuo that‘s wonderful! 1y
claudiuo Also have to mention little free libraries: not the same thing as an actual library but still... 😁. I've been told I am obsessed with LFLs and I have to admit I am, I am going out of my way to find them cause they are awesome. For me they are a great way to discover books that otherwise I may not even know about; at least a third of the books I read last year came from LFLs. 1y
Chrissyreadit @claudiuo ohhh! Where? 1y
claudiuo @Chrissyreadit They are everywhere. Recently they added a new map that works really well, I use it all the time, for both local searches and when I travel: https://app.littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap (edited) 1y
Chrissyreadit @claudiuo I meant library system 1y
claudiuo @Chrissyreadit Oh, sorry... Salt Lake County, Utah. Haven't checked lately but a few years back they were #7 in US for number of ebooks, if I'm not mistaken. (edited) 1y
LibraryFairy Love the library!!! I‘m in a very large library system as well and it‘s incredible. I‘ve never not been able to find a book and over the past two years I‘ve checked out over 100. They also have really cool programs and group reads! 1y
marleed I just read last week that my library (actually reciprocal to my actual library) was the #9 in library loans through use of overdrive/Libby. Pretty cool. I utilize it every week and play this game where every time I checkout/download a library book I theoretically deduct $15 from my federal taxes. 1y

Just picked this up from the #library! Cannot wait to delve into this New Orleans #YA #contemporaryromance. I love YA travel romances! Shoutout to libraries everywhere! #librariesrule #booksarefriends #newstash #booklover #litgirl #ireadYA #momswhoread

BethM That cover is lovely! I hate it when Litsy doesn‘t have the book blurb up! 5y
CKBrooke @BethM I wonder how often they update! It‘s about a girl volunteering in her youth group in New Orleans and she falls in love with a boy... I haven‘t dug into it yet but from the first page I knew it was the style I like! 5y

Our library system had a warehouse sale, and we picked up this desk and chair + 3 more desk chairs + tons of books for $55 today. All set for grad school! #bookhaul #furniturehaul

LauraBrook That is an awesome deal! #librariesrule 7y

The only reason why I grabbed this book is because I saw "Doctor Who" on the sleeve and I was sold. 50 pages in and I'm super glad I went with my gut! Love me some nerdy female protagonists. #nerdgirls #lilyanderson #ya #yalove #librariesrule #epl #contemporaryya #wittybooks #amreading #sweet16s
