Libraries Are Awesome - Blog Posts
This inspired me to visit my local library more (there is one LITERALLY around the block I live. ik, shame on me 😔) I don't go there often because I was never brought there by my parent (only once after asking for a while), but I just realized I'm old enough to walk there on my own (tell me about living a life where you're not allowed to go past your own yard most times.)
Heck, I may even ask to assist there. Maybe me visiting will get more people to come to it, as every time I pass by it through car or when running with my dog, it looks a little lonely.
I want to thank this post for opening my eyes and giving me another purpose to do things on my own and revisit a place I adored.
If you guys want I can keep y'all updated.
Let's be clear. Mr. Gaiman is the exception, not the rule. Most professional authors are nowhere close to millionaires. I was surprised when I learned that, as a public school teacher, I earn more than most authors. Neil is coming to bat for all of those authors who will lose a substantial part of their income because of this. I agree that libraries are important, and not everyone can afford to buy books, but I can see both sides of this coin.

From personal experience, I can tell you that libraries are very useful for the poor.
If you would like to help us continue to support libraries in the United States, please consider starting a monthly contribution of $1, $3, $5, or $10. With your contributions we are able to rally more support for libraries at action.everylibrary.org, provide the tools that libraries need to fight against threats to funding and closures, and help libraries grow through funding initiatives so that they can better serve their communities. In fact, for every dollar we raise, we are able to return over $1,600 in stable yearly funding to libraries. That means that your small monthly donation can help us secure almost $200,000 for libraries!
