libraries are totally fantastic I'm taking Spanish English chat and French English chat and my libraries in Texas

@sundogplanets free wifi!

@sundogplanets @HamonWry True that, I do loads of work in libraries

@sundogplanets and some have coffee nowadays.

@sundogplanets THANK LIBRARIES!!. I spend my university years studying in libraries; and now (almost 50) I use to go once a while to work with the computer when I want the work done.

It's why billionaires hate public libraries.

They educate. They provide quiet spaces to think.

It's hard to indoctrinate when information is freely available.

My son started working from the library instead of home and was just telling me how great it is for concentration. Until yesterday that is, when our schools had their first day of winter break and all the work-from-home moms brought their kids in to keep them occupied!

@sundogplanets Hello there

@sundogplanets

And unlike cafes or restaurants no librarian interrupts after 5 minutes to ask: ‘And, how is the book so far?’

@sundogplanets Libraries are such a win-win-win experience. You always find:
1. people interested in knowledge!
2. knowledge!
3. silence!
😁🤫
