LIBRARY MAGIC: Libraries are community centers and I love seeing the increased usage of them, but I'm noticing (both old and new library systems) that the ebooks/audiobooks are always checked out but the paper books (that I get) are often no wait.

No shade (at all) on ebook/audiobook readers, I love that people are reading!! BUT...I wish I could convince folks the library is a community center and it's a good idea to physically go there (too)... maybe the incentive of being able to get a book sooner in paper will do the magic!

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Itsn't it strange that ebooks can be 'lent', while actually it is 10 MB of text or so. There are so many free ebooks online...

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Ideally we should follow the old british model where artists would get paid a stipend just to art. Its why the British invasion was possible
