    I called my grandfather when I wanted to learn something. The library was the backup if he didn’t know. He was a well educated engineer, and my grandmother also had a university education and an excellent knowledge of literature.

    I wouldn’t mind killing off social media, but I have offline copies of Wikipedia for a reason. That shit is important.

      I used to send emails to libraries for information on a certain topic and got back lots of information

        How do you get an email address for a library that is actually monitored by a human that would respond?
