Thank you for spreading the word about this! It's always good to let folks know what they have access to through their local library.

your library card can break paywalls

Oh goody, another vector by which the Surveillance State can peek in on our interests/concerns.

I wasn’t aware of most of this.

It’s no surprise that libraries are under attack from the fascists.

I love our public library in Charlotte NC and am fortunate enough to be able to donate every year. Last year I borrowed 50 books from the library! Plus I read several magazines every month.

I appreciate your reminder. I knew there was some access to national newspapers but I didn’t know the extent of these high-quality publications. I will be checking out my public library today. Keep sounding this bell!

Because public libraries are instrumental for this type of resource, it is vital to stay vigilant and not allow your local library to fall. This is happening right now in Charleston SC. On the board of directors for the public library is Graham Horsman, a former IDF counter terrorism unit soldier who is causing a huge stir, trying to take control and attempting to have certain employees removed. On top of that, mothers of liberty are stepping in and trying to make critical changes that will prevent access to many forms of literature.

I don’t believe in coincidence. This is happening by design. Fight for your library
