Co-signed! That’s what libraries are for, and they do pay us! Never apologize!

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Our libraries are more than places to borrow books. They’re trusted community spaces helping Londoners access vital services.

I just realized how uniquely safe libraries feel, solely because nobody there is selling you something.

Harsha Walia @HarshaWalia Literally the only reason to not want universal free public healthcare, childcare, education, libraries, transit, parks and community centers for all is you are an asshole who would rather pay more to maintain a segregated elite status.

A robot arm uses air suction to turn fragile pages without touching the spine, scanning up to 2,500 pages per hour. The Treventus ScanRobot is helping libraries digitize old books safely.

As we said in March, blocking the Internet Archive is like newspapers telling physical libraries they’re no longer allowed to collect past issues. Whatever happens in AI-copyright disputes, publishers shouldn’t make libraries collateral damage.
