Pretty much everything millennials are “killing” costs money. Plus, unlike half the stuff we’re killing, libraries actually have a practical use we out here Not to be *that* millennial, but as a librarian I’d just like to say that the greatest thing you can do to support your local library is to understand how they are funded and to support their funding with your vote.Libraries can do a lot all on their own but quite often they cannot legally “toot their own horn” so-to-speak when it comes to advocating for sustaining or increasing funding, getting levies or bond issues passed, etc. Libraries need you to love them not just with your checkouts and attendance at programs. We can do that too. build libraries on dead golf courses. We Are Dewey’s Army X3 Friendly reminder that many Libraries double function as free schools and other free resources, sometimes including otherwise inaccessible technology, like 3D printers. The libraries in my city host ‘English as a Secondary Language’ classes, cooking classes, classes on how to use that 3D printer, local history classes, responsible naturalistic gardening classes, beekeeping classes, and all sorts of other fun topics. Plus the plethora of clubs that use the library conference rooms as their meeting place. All for free. Support and visit your local library. Ask about their services and classes. VOTE TO KEEP THEM FUNDED I’m a librarian and I can’t stress this enough! Also a librarian, if my library wasn’t here I’m not actually sure what half the population of the town would do with themselves. Also sign up for library cards, even if you don’t go to your local library’s physical location you can usually get ebooks/audiobooks sent to your laptop or kindle and they’ll just disappear on their due date, you don’t have to do anything other than check them out Sometimes local library websites will also have a space where you can donate or a book wishlist and I recommend checking that out as well -- source link
