Josh Johnson, "Explaining the Library to Gen Z"

@Thevy29 Very true. I always loved bookstores. Those are going away, too.

@Piper LOL, I remember that, too.

@Piper When I was in college, the school library was doing a "re-cataloguing" of everything, from the Dewey Decimal system to the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system -- letters AND numbers with dots!

BTW, although older versions of the Dewey system are copyright free, the newer versions & associated terminology are copyrighted! That's a big motivation for libraries to dump Dewey and use the free LCC system.

@basilfawlty89 Eh idk, ironically my Gen Z cousin reads more paper books than my millennial a$s..

Got too used to e-books and the "Search" function, especially for manuals

@Elessar what is manual?

Why you no use automatic, tovarish?

@MyNameIsHurl They are still among my favourite places! Give me a library in a forest by a lake and I would be happy forever <3

@ThePatientAnarchist the last time I went I swear a guy was jerking off by the computers

@Mamapolo2016 Not yet, but I think it’s also on YouTube.

@bijouxbroussard It is. It’s hilarious and thought-provoking.

@Mamapolo2016 I will definitely look for it.
