Libraries are pure magic. They’re more than books—they’re portals to other worlds, safe havens for curious minds, and the heart of every community. Whether it’s a cosy corner to read or a digital catalogue full of endless adventures, libraries have it all. Support yours today

In 2025, stop worrying about what counts and doesn’t count and just read it all! Physical books, e-books, audiobooks, manga, comics, web novels, fiction, non-fiction, fan-fiction, all of it! Reading is reading and it’s all out there just waiting for you!

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

Never before has the AuDHD experience been so succinctly expressed.

today’s read: blue light hours by bruna dantas lobato ✨ mom stays home in brazil while her daughter travels to vermont for college, with video chats being their one anchor to each other & the life they once shared. halfway in, i’m in awe of how aptly this captures the grief of growing up & apart 💙
