Love this sign on the road up to Dennistoun Public Library in the East End of Glasgow (the building in the background of the photo).

A sign on the road up to a Glasgow public library which reads Caution Mind-expanding Stories Ahead.

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.
