Libraries

Why can’t we at least pick up books on hold? This is so ridiculous. I don’t want to babe to buy new books all the time for my kids. Open up the libraries, please!

Are there any little free libraries in your neighborhood. There are 3 within a few blocks of me. Maybe there is a map online of known LFLs?

what is ridiculous is that you have not bought a kindle (or a nook, or the indie version) already and checked out books from the library that way. yes, high demand, but the waitlist / hold system works well in our experience. and you can get kindle unlimited which has lots of kids books.

Public libraries are gross.

We prefer paper books in our household. I don’t believe in reading on screens.

Are you joking? It’s the best way to get so many different books!

I do too but that's sort of irrelevant at the moment. I like many things I can't have right now. Grow up and get a basic kindle with no backlighting. (Also why are you on this screen at 11:12 at night rather than reading your paper books?)

PP here. Also, why don't you arrange to trade with friends and classmates? That's what we're doing, in addition to the kindle

NP I have a preschooler so I don’t want her on screens. For myself, it’s fine. I do Kindle or Audiobooks

I have plenty of paper books, I also have Kindle on my phone and listen to audio books when I go walking. Your ridiculous declaration just makes you sound stupid and out of touch rather than all superior like you thought it would.

Seriously? There’s no reason we can’t open up libraries so people can pick up books on hold. There’s a reason I prefer libraries and not buying a kindle. I don’t want to spend the money. Can you understand that?

It’s also the best way to watch a homeless guy pleasure himself at a desktop computer and share oxygen with the kind of people who want to read a free newspaper on a giant stick. Licking their fingers at every page turn.

NP you sound like you have poor reading comprehension. OP specifically said she wants library books for her kids. Do you know how old her kids are, or their preferences? No? Then you’re just making idiotic suggestions
