Why do we never mention the library and always talk about pirating? It's like a legal form of pirating and you can watch cool movies too with Kanopy.It it a psyop to destroy trust in communities and make posters scared to leave the house?
>>24784124Because that's an ugly ass building and I don't want to read any of those magazines. Silly thread.
>>24784135>not reading magazines and books for freepleb teebh desu
>>24784124Libraries were the white man's last refuge, and then the homeless found out about them.
>>24784124Why go to the library when I can just dl the book/movie at home?
>>24784157you look cooler going outside and getting a book than sitting in a cave and reading off a computer
Libraries do not have the books that I read, it's as simple as thatWhen I was in University, the University Library had plenty of books that I wanted to read and so I borrowed them
>>24784142I don't watch youtube videos from the Economist or Time either
>>24784165Do you know what's cooler? Owning the book yourself and going to the park or cafe with it.
>>24784191that's true but for you don't necessarily want to buy but borrow just headin' to the library is cool
>>24784124I made eye contact with a woman at the library today
>>24784220we're gonna make it bros
>>24784151They still could be. If enough good respectable people started going there, there would be enough to complain and have things changed.
>>24784173You can request books, even pre-publication? Anyway, the homeless is why not. That and small children.
>>24784232you could just get the book and leave the library though. don't have to hang around
>>24784229the liberal white chick librarian would call the on-duty police offer that has to be there to prevent stabbings and administer narcan, and have you arrested for a hate crime if you so much think of suggesting such a thing, you insensitive bigot. something about intersectionality and social services.
>>24784220Before or after she called the police?
>>24784227And I told the librarian that the check-out receipt machine was nearly out. He said thank you.
>>24784124I—I don't know
>>24784244Jokes aside, I imagine the librarians would love nothing more than to have the library turn into a dignified space of reading and study.
>>24784245Well, I did walk behind her up the stairs, so I'm waiting for the police to arrest me for rape or attempted murder or something.
>>24784237and cut down the librarian romance window?
>>24784262I can't believe you were stalking a pre-menopausal woman you pedo freak she was only 35
>>24784298I tried to stay a flight back, but she was walking too slow. The judge will believe me, right???
>>24784124I love the library :D
>>24784124I coom in every book I borrow from the library
>>24784368hell yeah
>>24784368Me too!
I rarely check books out of the library but I like to go there to read. I live in a major city so I can go to one of those marble filled wonders and feel academic despite being a drop out.
>>24784430Very jealous. And good for you. I would love a return of true library/lit culture.
>>24784124i'd feel like a poser if i went to the library desu. i get paranoid about mentioning books i've read to other people because i don't want to give them the impression that i'm some know it all douchebag.
Because my local library is only good for three things: >sitting on the waiting list for the latest romantasy novel>reading books on gender queer critical race intersectionality word soup>reading zines written by local rich white kids larping as anarcho-communist revolutionariesWhy would I subject myself to that when the largest library in the history of mankind is a couple clicks away?
>>24784430I miss college for this aspect. The college I went to, as shitty as it was, had a really nice three-story tall library with giant windows. At night I'd go over after dinner and sit at one of the chairs by a window on the third floor where no one went and read for a little bit. But then again I also got held at knife-point walking down the street there, so tradeoffs I guess.I like being an adult with my own place and a family, but I miss the lack of responsibility and amount of freetime I had back then.
>>24784199>just headin' to the library is coolYeah that's true. I very rarely check anything out though, especially from my local branch which is quite small. The last time I borrowed anything from the library it was a couple of books of Monet and van Gogh prints, which must have been in 2020 abouts. I do like going there to read, but I can't vape in there so usually I don't bother lol. It is a great place to study, doe.
I live in 3rd world. No library culture here
>>24784124My library has mentally ill people around it and in it. Also browns. I do like kanopy and the audio book thing.
>>24784124i saw a cute college girl in the library once. i was 28/29 at the time.
>>24784124IJ checked out by the tome gnomes again
Imagine how cool the library would be if they kicked out the homeless and got rid of the gay stuff and children's section and let people drink coffee and smoke
>>24784124She’s sexy
>>24784714Yes
