I finished Ovid's Metamorphoses last night. (McCarter translation)
I expected mythology but I was surprised by the amount of magic. Like, woman with wild hair in the woods at night with a wand and cauldron, mixing herbs and casting spells.
I guess I had associated that with more Germanic (Grimm fairy tales) literature. Apparently a lot of that imagery comes from Rome.
Allows you to create a list of #libraries where you have a card (borrowing privileges), and then displays ebook / audiobook availability when you visit certain book pages.
It's very cool and has saved me alot of money (borrowing vs buying).
@bookstodon@geekaren@rustoleumlove@DelilahTech yep, check your county and state laws. Here in California, if you belong / reside to a library that does NOT a charge non-residents, then you can borrow from other “free” libraries.
This is very nice for ebooks. :)
@bookstodon@rustoleumlove@DelilahTech@jjmcgaffey@geekaren@FlorriePuddlefoot several libraries had options during more of the stay at home part of the pandemic. Some were 90 day cards until you could get there in person. Brooklyn public library used to let us out of state folks pay a fee - did we email a copy of our drivers license?? Can’t remember
