    Support your Libraries

    What is everyone doing to support their local library? I’ll go first. I read a lot of ebooks and audiobooks. Last year one of the librarians I know shared that libraries get their funding in part by the circulation in each section of the library. That’s also partially how they decide how much funding each section of the library gets. This in turn affects whether they continue to stock books that interest you. When I go to the library, I will often borrow a few of the books that I read and liked the previous month so that that interest is flagged in the library system and so that it counts as circulation. A couple of notes:

    • I’m not interested in taking away new books that people are actively desperate to read. if the book is new, I will borrow a previous title by the same author or another book in the same genre.
    • You cannot take the books out and then return them the next day as some library systems then assume that you did not read the book.
    • My understanding is that you should not do this with Libby materials because each use of those often has a subscription type cost to the library. The library either only has the book for a certain period of time or they can only lend it out a certain number of times. (Edit to add: I’m not discouraging borrowing digital materials; just discouraging borrowing them to improve circulation numbers.) Also, I know that there’s a chance that if you take the books for a week, someone else who wanted to read those books will have to wait. Sometimes I check the library app to see if any of the books have a hold on them midweek, and I’ll take them back early.
