Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!?  Libraries literally saved my life as a child!

Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!

I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs) 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!

As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)

New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!

Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.

Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.

Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.

The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places

Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.

I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way

If you feel disconnected from your local community & want to find ways to get involved, seriously consider spending some time at the library. Go to some events! Organize a reading group!

Support your libraries!

Read banned books!

People who don’t learn can be more easily controlled and told what to think!

Anthony J. Crowley is an agnostic, genderfluid Soho florist in his mid thirties who’s mostly only ever cared about his Bentley, his pet snake Ashtoreth, his godson Warlock, his plants, astronomy, and the band Queen.
Aziraphale Fell is also in his mid thirties, is a closeted gay man from a religiously strict family, holds a love for both books and food, and has always aspired to one day own a bookshop of his own.
When that dream comes true and he opens up a bookstore in the space available next door to Crowley’s flower shop, before either of them can so much as anticipate it happening they both find themselves falling for the other as their lives inevitably collide in an intricately entangled dynamic.
AKA the story in which Crowley learns to allow the minute list of things he cares about to grow to include one more, and Aziraphale learns to cope with newfound feelings of love, family proper, and safety and acceptance in one’s skin.

I just got hooked on Sherlock & Co. and found this beauty on AO3! I loved reading the transcript to the first episode! By our very own @iamjustreading !

Oh if you haven’t, do yourself a favor and listen! We have a very recognizable Sherlock and a John Watson who is somewhat awkward and light and jolly/happy. There is so much admiration and support from him to Sherlock and Sherlock…oh give it a listen and a read!!

Please tag your friend that likes Sherlock&Co! (She is at 3 episodes!)

OMG!!

This is GOLD!!!

Thank you so much @iamjustreading for taking your time to transcribe the episodes!!

👏👏👏👏

😍😍😍😍

I have listened to a handful of episodes and have really enjoyed them. I absolutely love that their Sherlock sounds like Benedict. It’s the extra bit I needed to listen more.

I just started listening to this, it’s very cute!
