It's hard times for libraries in the UK right now, and we're grateful for what you do.\\r\n\\r\nAs librarian\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mattlibrarian/status/1096127467159502848\"> Matt Imrie just tweeted\u003C/a>, \u003Ci>Public Libraries are FREE at point of service because you've already paid for them through taxes. When Public Libraries are shut down/handed to volunteers... you ARE STILL PAYING FOR THEM - you just don't get the service you paid for!\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nUse your library - every book checked out helps the library demonstrate that it's in use, and authors get a little Public Lending Right payment! (In fact, we often get a few more pennies from a library loan than we do from a book sale at an ultra-discount bookshop!) So never feel bad about checking out a book from the library instead of buying it; writers and illustrators love and need libraries. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://jabberworks.livejournal.com/741817.html\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/642607_original-23a7539d27.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nYou can \u003Ca href=\"https://jabberworks.livejournal.com/741817.html\">download this poster here\u003C/a>, in A4, A3 and US Letter size, along with lots of other library posters in various formats!","2019-02-14T19:39:00.000Z","valetine-to-libraries",[],"valetine to libraries",1776628730015]
