This is probably going to be a "well duh" moment for some, but for those who didn't know, I just found out that you can get crochet and knitting magazines on the Libby app!!!!

ACTION ITEM Missouri!

"If you use Libby app to read your library books, like many people do, Sec of State Danny Hoskins of Missouri is canceling funding for overdrive/ libby- the ebook services for public libraries, Allegedly to protect children from pornography

Seniors, disabled, and others without transportation, and many others depend on this service.  "

Call to complain: 573-751-4936.

The friend who alerted me to this adds:

Also, to some at least there may be a work around: 

"This is a link to the Bard App which is through the library of Congress.  It is a free service for the disabled to listen to audiobooks through the free bard app on their phone or tablet.  Not sure if it works on a full blown computer but it's worth looking into.  Let's get around their utter bollocks as well as forcing them to retract it!"

*taking my younger self by the shoulders* listen to me. there is some life advice you need to hear, and the sooner you learn it the better. WHEN YOU GO IN LIBBY AND PUT A HOLD ON THE FIRST BOOK IN A SERIES. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST PUT A HOLD ON ALL THE BOOKS IN THE SERIES.

I am 🌟 COLLECTING 🌟 library cards

Reminder that the Libby App (library app - has books, audio, graphic novels) let's you add multiple libraries, you just need your card number and pin, and when you search for materials will search all of the data bases you have access to! Making the chances of you getting the book (and quickly for example if one library has a wait-list for the book, another might not) much better!!!

Don't buy books from Audible/Amazon when you can use free public resources even if you can't leave your house! You can even apply for library cards online without going in and usually get a 30 day grace period before having to go in with a license/id for a permanent library card 💖💖💖

l already knew the libby app somehow knows whether I own an ebook because if I've borrowed an ebook on the app and then I buy a copy of the same ebook then libby will be like "your loan has ended" and delete it off my library shelf. which is hilarious. the wizard librarian all sternly like "you have this virtual book at home. the virtual library copy is for people who do not. therefore *poof*"

anyway awhile back I asked the app to add me to the waiting list for a certain book if my library acquired a digital copy of it, and then got tired of waiting and bought it, but forgot to un-ask libby for it

so libby just sent me a notification like "your library has acquired a copy of this book..." and instead of "and we have added you to the wait list," or "but we see you already have a copy," it was just followed by nothing. like a digital disapproving stare. like "we came here to tell you something but..." (eyes slide past me and fix accusingly on the digital copy on the virtual shelf behind me)

People already talk about the benefits of the Libby app for free ebook reading (and audiobooks) through your local library but I gotta say, it has a lot of font and type space and size options. I've been reading with the open dyslexic font and wide line spacing and it works really well for me and makes reading soooo much easier than the default publisher styles. So if you've had problems reading ebooks before maybe try the accessibility settings out!

Book readers both E-readers and print readers, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY! Most libraries have elibraries like Libby or hoopla (with Libby your can read on kindle ereaders!!) and some even have the ability to get a library card remotely! The libraries rely off of patrons and library card members to buy more books, do programs, and sometimes fund research. Not to mention you’re saving a ton of money by using your card!

Don't need adrenaline sports or drugs, I get a rush from winning a game of audiobook chicken with my local library.
