2. I hope other major libraries across the country will follow suit. Librarians once again the heroes!

3. Which is why the GOP is gunning for them in certain circles. Anybody

that cares is under attack. They are planning to suppress that 80% of the population and in the new right's dreams the 80% are forced into hiding when doing kind things. It is disgusting.

4. NYC is still one of the greatest cities in the world

I’ve lived here for more than 40 years. It’s a spectacular city!

[Samrob]

5. YES! And precisely because of the people who live there...all of them. nt

6. WTG, Brooklyn Library! 💖

The Central Library of Brooklyn across from Grand Army Plaza is a a very nice building with great detailing, also in the very big lobby (where they've hosted artists' work), and mezzanine.
They redid the outdoor plaza really nicely, too while I lived there in the 00's (as opposed to other borroughs).

7. Wonderful!

Several decades ago, when I lived in Phoenix and had small children needing occasional babysitting, I'd hire local kids. I always asked them if they had a library card, and if the answer was no, took them immediately to the local library and got them signed up. And I also signed the permission to check out any and all adult books.

10. Hurrah for you! That was brilliant!

11. It was subversive, actually.

I didn't bother to ask the parents, just took the kid to the library and signed them up.

12. As I said, brilliant! I had assumed that you had not checked with the parents.

8. Brooklyn. My home and native land
