Hello. I just learned about this thing a bit ago, and got my library card today, and I was wondering if you knew of any other similar libraries that operate primarily through Libby? Now that I have had my eyes open to the possibility of multiple library cards my brain just wants to collect all that I can get.

hi! hmm which are primarily digital libraries through Libby… honestly, no. That’s one of the reasons we decided we’d be able to move forward with QLL after we had the idea, as it was filling a gap that no one else was.

Of course there are some public libraries (brooklyn among others) that have opened up *part* of their Libby catalogues nationally for certain age ranges (13-26), and then there are other digital branches of physical libraries like the Library of Congress’ open access digital collections. The closest I can think of for a fully digital library would be the Digital Public Library of America or DPLA, but they don’t use Libby. BPL, LoC, DPLA and others also don’t have the same focus on queer books that we do at QLL.

There are other excellent queer libraries out there too, but most are primarily physical collections (one exception being Quatrefoil Library who also launched a digital branch on Libby, but they also have a much more geographically narrow focus - Minneapolis - than we do)

glad to see that d3 vid made it to you as well because ohmigosh... i've watched it like 6 times already and it's still just as wild and good as the first time. like the way they all had an answer?? imagining them sitting around having conversations about who they'd like to marry on the team - not to mention the way babies were mentioned more than once. these kids are/have been on tumblr and ao3, they know what's up lol

(also side note one of the guys who said mason, he said it was bc mason was a good cuddler which sent me too - so you guys have cuddled. regularly. like WOW.) not even gonna talk about the one who picked his brother though wanting someone to do your taxes is so real

rotating "hopeless romantic + old school" in my mind, like what does that even mean?? flowers and chocolates and kissing you goodnight at your dorm room? does he pull out a chair for you before you sit down? idk, it was such a sweet and genuine answer

tldr i love them all and can we get more teams doing this please? i've never paid attention to d3 in my life but suddenly i need to know more

- @bondedpairs

every time i watch the video i just start laughing so hard, it brings me so much joy and i cannot thank kasper moregraceful enough for bringing it into all of our lives 🥺 *

AND now i get to pitch that i think everybody should watch more college/local hockey to have that type of joy all the time!!! tickets are usually pretty decently priced, you get your narratives right in front of you (my notes app has some. thoughts) and you get the same emotional attachment and watch your guys develop throughout their careers!!! a lot of the time you can find really fun social media for college teams in particularly because of student media programs but if you are not already an ahl watcher: may i recommend stalking their youtube channels. lehigh valley phantoms spelling bee videos are one of my favorite things in the entire world and the milwaukee ads have a lot of fun content too!!

get to know you tag game ✨

tagged by: @cosmicdreamgrl 💛

pronouns: she/her

star sign: cancer

siblings & fun facts about them: two younger brothers. the middle one is always up to something - recently he was hired to sell knives door to door? but we’re not sure if he kept up with it or dedicated more time to his shoe shining gig. the little one (he’s twelve) is our geographer. We always ask him where a country is and he can point it out or draw a map of it. He knew more when he was younger but he can still name capital cities of a ton of countries

pets: four dogs. they’re all my annoying babies

fandoms: there’s probably too many to name. If there’s a tag for it I was probably super invested at one point or still am super invested

favorite colour: yellow

favorite song: I’m gonna go with Yun. I hear the first few notes and it’s like I’m calm immediately.

favorite author: I haven’t read enough books by the same author to pick (outside of a series) Pachinko by Min Jin Lee is my favorite book though so maybe her? I’ll come back to it when I read her other book.

hobbies: I’m an art and pretty building lover, trying to visit more galleries and pay attention to the buildings/architects around here. Making lists should count. I’m still trying to get into journaling but no where near those who can do it all pretty.

do you have any partners? nop

fun fact about you/anything extra you want to share: I’m still pretty proud of that one time a friend asked me about a sculpture on top of a building and I was able to recognize it as the she wolf that nursed Remus and Romulus. Gave them the whole backstory and everything

When google maps hounds me like "you're in the top 10% of reviewers! Please review more!" All that tells me is that 99% of users probably literally do not review anything ever under any circumstances. I do not have a lot of reviews, the average is just spectacularly low.

With the international dates announced it is yet again that time of year where I check my emails hourly and frantically google translate each one I don't understand
