@LibraryImpactNG No. The lobby is filled with drug addicted homeless. Not taking my kids there. We get our books elsewhere, thank you.

''The global water crisis affects all of us, but not in the same way. It’s women and girls who carry the heaviest burden. They don’t just face the crisis, they are leading the way out of it.'' - @ministerBHOS #WorldWaterDay

Resolving boredom through our incessant attention to our devices has, according to New York Times bestselling author @arthurbrooks, also brought an end to our willingness to let our minds wander – inhibiting abstract thinking and making us vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

@talyaTheeEnby Our local libraries look more like government assistance programs than anything else these days. Sad to see the change in the past 10 years or so, but not a place I'd take my kids anymore.

@talyaTheeEnby - Library isn't used, costs taxpayer money. - Everyone gets a library card, library gets more money. - Library still isn't used, and my taxes are going up? How does this make sense?

@talyaTheeEnby @vanessajaye Libraries are so important They are spaces which reinforce knowledge and enjoyment of expanding the mind just by their existence

@talyaTheeEnby Property taxes in my county help to fund my library. The retail price of the first couple of trips I make to the library in January is higher than the part of my property taxes that goes to the library. I read 3-4 books a week, and the library saves me so much money!
