As a former library worker:
- Your library can get u free audiobooks through the Libby App. FUCK AUDIBLE ALL MY HOMIES HATE AUDIBLE.
- You can also get language learning apps like Mango for free!
- Covid tests? Masks? Narcan? FREE? Check your library!
- Need a power tool? LIBRARY.

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

The library is the only place that Americans experience the fullness of what it means to remove goods from the market. It pings our consciousness. Hey we could love differently!
Internet friends, I understand if you are green with envy at me for attending this great talk last night!
"Who's afraid of libraries?" was the rhetorical opener and I loved the point (among many) that libraries are where things are free. "a CVS looks really weird after you've been to the library."

ICYMI, I am co-leading the Presidential Library Anti-Corruption Act of 2025 to ensure Presidential Libraries cannot be used as a tool for corruption.
This isn’t an episode of Veep or House of Cards—this is real life. And the corruption must end.

A good, private library is a research tool, not an ego boosting appendage.
