Yeah my library doesn't keep this information on purpose unless a patron specifically opts IN to having it be kept.

This is an incredible thing. I think many people in 2025 assume these are digital copies. Nope, they will MAIL YOU THE BOOK and then you can send it back to them, at no cost to you. Truly an amazing resource.

I love those first three books, (and am also an anarchist) and maybe it was just cause I read it too far after the first ones but I was happier with it being a trilogy.

Thank you for sharing this. I felt it on the inside as the dark rages outside.

That we are snitches! Like the cops will show up at the library and we'd TELL THEM THINGS? How dare you.
Also the white gloves thing, but that's for fancier librarians than me.

It's a slightly edgy take since there is one "mean" librarian (who has her reasons) and then the Parker Posey one who is the fun, hip one but also acts like an entitled brat through a lot of the movie.

I'm offline enough that I did have to have somebody explain to me who she was, but I read the "early life and education" part of her Wikipedia page and thought she might be a kind of person I was familiar with.

As someone who speaks mod, there was so much that was not sitting right with me about this. Thanks very much for spelling this out.
