It's so bonkers to me that Vancouver Public Library has to beg for donations. We don't do this with water fountains, road paving, garbage removal, police, but libraries? Yeah just let them perish!

Vancouver Public Library, taking your knowledge to greater heights.

One of my fav places. I just recently rediscovered the joy of spending time there after not going for so long.
They offer so many great free events and workshops. And I love hanging out there to work on my creative projects.
Public libraries are the best! And the VPL central branch is an architectural gem on top of it!

Inside the Vancouver Public Library. Picture taken from an upper floor looking down at the curved side wall galleries. People sitting at desks, working. All the way down is a non-public space filled with dozens of carts filled with books to be sorted. A great sense of height comes out of the picture.

When I need something fresh to listen to, thank dog for the VPL-Naxos nexus.

One the stranger double bills possible, but there ended up being an odd through-line of Judaism.

The documentary covered a topic of which I was previously aware: the American Bund, dedicated to the promotion of NAZI ideals in the USA prior to WWII. What I didn’t know was the extent of their coverage in the nation. As is pointed out narratively, just because the movement is gone doesn’t mean the people or spirit has disappeared. All too prescient.

Highly recommended.

★★★★☆

The feature film was simply lovely. A sweet tale of family conflict finally resolved, with humour and heart. Grand stuff, perfect for a low-energy night.

Worth your time.

★★★☆☆

I’ve meant to watch this for quite some time, because it’s An Important Picture, and I can see why: the story is far more realistic than contemporaneous films. The adult characters are seen to be mean, short-sighted, and generally easily fooled or overcome.

The young people seem to have the right attitude by today’s standards: enjoy youth while you are young! Still, you feel sad for the young hero, as his future is far from rosy, and getting away from his home life is the only option that’s logical.

Very highly recommended; especially with an eye to its time.

★★★★☆

Was trying to figure out how to watch the movie Aniara, which isn’t available on streaming platforms here in Canada. Luckily, the Vancouver Public Library came through and I was able to check out a copy on DVD and enjoy a thoroughly bleak sci-fi story this evening. Libraries for the win! #Aniara #VPL #DVD
