YOU GUYS my local library just closed for at least two weeks that's cruel and unusual even for a pandemic

Fer realz: I'm not taking this lightly. I hope y'all are well. Our city just had its first confirmed case, so I'm an indoor kitty now other than necessary errands and occasional lone jogs.

But I swear I started to panic like never before when I got the alert about the library. It felt like the end of the world.

Susie All the local libraries here in Belgium are closed, too. We've had four confirmed cases just here on the Belgian coast so far, which isn't so bad in the whole scheme of things; there are more than 150 new cases reported each day for the past few days, just for here in Belgium.

All sports events and gatherings are cancelled. Police are on the streets to enforce closing of non-essential shops. Many people are likening it to a dystopian state.

Good job for Kindle Unlimited and free ARCs, I say!

Leighann Garber Kindle unlimited and overcast! And overcast has audio books and movies too. All our schools are closed going to be more closings soon. But no.guidance no one knows what to do. It really shows the privilege of some people who have the ability to work from home, who have good insurance, DSL as opposed to phone data, washer and dryer at home, separate freezer.and already have it stocked, own their home, extra family for daycare etc. And even books! I bought half of the library bookstore weeks ago lol, I'm working on returning the 2 books I ha e checked out then not going to the library for a while which just hurts as I've only just started going back, but it makes the most sense. Y'all stay safe out there

Laura Does your library have ebooks to check out? We also have downloadable movies through our library.

Be well, everyone.
