Surely you've already signed up for a library card at your local library, but for the few of you putting this off, here's a reminder that September is a #LibraryCardSignUpMonth!

@haverholm @libraries No problem!
Yeah, one of the downsides of decentralized social media. Smarter folks than me are working on fixing this, so here's hope things will become a bit more user-friendly in the future!

@stefan Our new library here in Frisco, TX, is spectacular. Probably the size of 3-4 football fields. Two floors. Teens area. Toddler play area. Lots of computers to use. Reservable meeting/working rooms. Reading nooks all over. Absolutely stunning. (Lots of photos on Google)

@leoncowle That sounds very nice! This is what our taxes should be used for!

@stefan Fun fact that surprised me: You may be able to sign up for more than one! I'm a member of two cities' library systems - my home city, and a nearby city I spend a fair bit of time filming in. There isn't any secret to it, I just went to a library, asked politely to join, and they said yes.

@Cal Life hack!

@haverholm @libraries Ah, yes, it also occurred to me that the account is set to delete posts without enough interactions, to help keep the server resources low. Just FYI!

@stefan I see! Because I just realised I already follow the hourly bats account from botsin.space, so there should be some federation... @libraries

@haverholm @libraries Right, I guess the way the federation works is a bit more complicated.
Also, the server is set up in a way that forces some of the posts to be unlisted to prevent them from polluting people's timelines, so that might have something to do with this as well.

@stefan This is exactly how I felt when I found out I could get a library card for all Amsterdam libraries, including all universities and higher education libraries here!

@Heidentweet Nice!
