This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
I don't buy video games anymore. The day of release I check the library site and they always have a few copies of the latest game. You get them for 1-3 weeks at a time and you can check em back out if you didn't finish
so what you're saying is the library IS tracking everything she reads conspiracy music intensifies
69 69
coincidence? >I think not!<
I'm more impressed with all the shelf space she saved by returning those physical books.
Qbittorrent should add this
Wait, not every library does this?
Regardless they mildly bother me because they use the MSRP from when the books were new, not the actual price people pay for used books (which is what library books are).
Anyone who has ever suggested defunding or closing libraries should be hanged at the stake.
Burned from the neck until dead
Or forced to read their opinions, out-loud, to their peers.
Regarding libraries, this is such a socialist idea, that enriches society and educates the people. I wonder why no one thought to defund them, because think of the lost profits for companies like Amazon, etc. /s
Republicans absolutely have tried and are trying to defund librairies.
And have succeeded. In the stupidest ways. I can't find the article since there are so many fucking attempts, but there was one where they got rid of the library's funding in the only public room in town big enough to hold the meeting on getting rid of the library's funding: the library's meeting room.
I also don't pay for books, arrrr
Did you find the one piece?
Do you buy a copy when you find that you actually liked the book you pirated?
I literally send authors the average cost of money for their book to their patreon with notes telling them I would've paid their publisher if I could've gotten a DRM-free .epub after enjoying the copy I got on zlib.
Love that
if I can afford it, yeah
She must read a book a day or only borrow gold plated books. 7k past year? If a book cost 20 dollars thats 350 books!
Libraries also have movies and games!
Also a lot of libraries have other stuff you can check out! Tools, sewing machine, printer, photo scanner etc!
We scanned hundreds of old photos in minutes with the thousand dollar value equipment at our library totally for free! It was really cool! Ours has all kinds of equipment for converting old media to digital.
Plus these huge satellite maps of our city from the past, it's like a 3.5'x3ft book of aerial photos. Idk what you'd need that for, but it was fun to look through them!
It seems feasible if you don't imagine they're all big novels. A lot of nonfiction you might borrow several of in one visit and not read front to back. Think recipe books, handicrafts, anything along those lines. Could also be smaller things like children's books, poetry collections, etc., or some of the books were unusually expensive.
Going by Amazon, hardcover averages $26.75 and paperback is $22.30
Patron status is ok
Glad your friend is doing well! Send my regards.
So she stole $60000 from the months of hard working publishers and $122 from authors
No, $122 from the printing factory and 13¢ from the authors.
$3 from the printing factory, 13¢ from the author and $118 from the fucken publisher
