    Libraries are fucking awesome. Worked in one for almost 3 years. Loved every second of it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's a trick, they're counting the Netflix catalogue as a "library" of movies and shows. Disney+ too.

    Oh, Sly.

    I've checked out both free music and free movies from the library. Also checked out an awful lot of books.

    When I was somewhere around 8 years old I won first place in the Oswego City Library contest for reading the most books. Of course that was in the old days when I had to read them at night by candle or fireplace light.
