If I believed in a heaven it might be an empty library 😁
Which of course means the hum of old monitors is the choir of angels 😂

Picture of a humble, little library with small bookcases and a couple of old computers.

Access to education and information shouldn't be bound to income 🤔

I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.

A new documentary checks out the many ways libraries are a 'Free For All'

Artistic Rendering of the Library of Alexandria, based on some archaeological evidence.

The building is depicted with classical Greco-Egyptian design elements—tall columns, marble facades, and ornate friezes.

The scene shows the interior, with long, vaulted halls lined with wooden shelves, niches filled with scrolls, and skylights that bathe the room in warm light.

Scholars, scribes, and philosophers in flowing robes move through the space—engaged in reading, debating, or writing—evoking a vibrant intellectual culture.

It would be fun if public libraries were well- funded and open in the evenings and we built a culture where it’s normal to gather at the library after work and browse the shelves and chat about the latest books and read the Saturday night away.

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is *all* the knowledge, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Yes, I know I've posted this before, but I really want one 😊
Public libraries could make this the door to their reading areas, then I could try it, get sick of it, and not be bothered 😁

A picture of a book case that opens into another library.

Some dream of fame.
Some dream of traveling to space.
I dream of having a secret door in one library that leads to another hidden library.

My girlfriend regularly tells me “if
free public libraries didn't already
exist and someone tried to invent
them, they would be condemned
as a socialist plot” and | think
about that a lot.
