"Why read at all? Why does anyone do it in the first place?"

Patrick deWitt ventures an answer in his novel The Librarianist

#reading #books #literature #PatrickDeWitt #BookCover #BookDesign #LibraryCard

"Why read at all? Why does anyone do it in the first place? Why do I? There is the element of escape, which is real enough—that’s a real-enough comfort. But also we read as a way to come to grips with the randomness of our being alive. To read a book by an observant, sympathetic mind is to see the human landscape in all its odd detail, and the reader says to him or herself, Yes, that’s how it is, only I didn’t know it to describe it. There's a fraternity achieved, then: we are not alone. Sometimes an author’s voice is familiar to us from the first page, first paragraph, even if the author lived in another country, in another century." Bob held up his stack of Russians.

Patrick deWitt's The Librarianist, Bloomsbury paperback edition. The design, by Allison Saltzman, imitates a library card, using images from Shutterstock and Getty. It's yellow, with the author's name in the "Borrower's name" column, and various due dates crossed off to the left. The title is in red sans-serif at the top, and below the author's name is the text: "Man Booker Prize–shortlisted author of The Sisters Brothers".

Front of 2-part library card (credit-card-sized attached to keychain-sized card). Both show Snoopy dressed as a Beagle Scout with distinctive brown peaked hat, brown backpack, and red neck kerchief. Four yellow Woodstock birds are dressed in similar fashion. Snoopy and 3 birds are standing outdoors on a what might be a group of boulders. In the background are the tops of fir trees, with mountains rising high above them to each side. A 4th bird sits at top on the text "Read" (bold serif block letters). Text "Adventure awaits!" follows in small sans-serif script. Both cards have the same design.

Debut Album der Band #LibraryCard aus #Rotterdam
Auch sie haben auf dem #MaifeldDerby #OpenAir #Festival in #Mannheim gespielt und wir hatten große Freude an ihrem Auftritt. Deshalb musste ich mir auch ihre #Vinyl #LP kaufen und signieren lassen. Die waren echt süß und haben sich einige Zeit genommen um meinen Wunsch zu erfüllen. #punk #rock #postpunk #nowplaying #vinylrecords

🤔 So, Matt finally dusts off his library card to revisit the good ol' pillaging days—now he's an expert on #conquests because he read a couple of books. 📚👏 Clearly, he's discovered the secret sauce: just add #Spaniards and stir for historical stew! 🍲⚔️

How to Get #Free #Audiobooks With Just a #LibraryCard and an App

Audible just not cutting it for audiobooks #anymore? Sick of the monthly cost? #Libby just might be the answer to your listening needs.

I am completely unimpressed by the amount of money you have amassed and am entirely turned on by the number of valid library cards you hold (and use).

Surely you've already signed up for a library card at your local library, but for the few of you putting this off, here's a reminder that September is a #LibraryCardSignUpMonth!

A two-panel Charlie Brown comic.

In the first panel, three young children (Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus) stand outside. One of the children, Linus, approaches the other two children, holding a library card, and says:

"Look! Library card! I've taken out a library card!"

He stands proud, holding his library card to his chest, and continues:

"I have been given my citizenship in the land of knowledge!"

Happy Library Card Sign-Up Month to all who celebrate!

I lot of people don't seem to realise you can do this with a #LibraryCard? They really are magical!

Amusingly, I *have* one of those cards, and had to get it *last year* in order to get access to Oxford Reference, which I can get via my local library by logging in to Oxford Reference with the number on the card.

It genuinely is a library card and a bunch of encyclopaedias.
