Het Predikheren, Mechelen, Belgium.
This 17th century Dominican convent was confiscated after the region was annexed by the French Republic in 1794. It was then used as a arsenal and military hospital, then abandoned in 1975.
After standing empty for decades, it was transformed into a public library in 2019.

One of the things I published in the last two years is the utopian #novella "2042 – The Forbidden Library". It was funded by the Call for Stories of the CCC e.V. in Germany. Thus I could make it free for download on my website, but also print and ebook versions that are available everywhere. There's also an English version, even available at Waterstones. waterstones.com/book/2042-engl…

Libraries must be protected. Incursions like Libby trying to force libraries to carry AI books is unacceptable.
More on my love for libraries here and how they prefigure a #solarpunk future: brightgreenfutures.substack.co…
Prefiguring a Solarpunk World TodaySusan Kaye Quinn (Bright Green Futures)
Libby is shoving AI into its service (and allowing AI books!) and I couldn't be more furious.
Libby is supposedly a library app but it doesn't have any of the values of a library (I adore libraries, they are manifestations of a #solarpunk future).
Libby is an enshittified tech corp who bought a library app. "Libby and its parent company, OverDrive, are owned by the private equity firm KKR."
"More than one thousand #klezmer #tunes, some dating back to the late #19thCentury, are being #performed and #recorded after sitting in a #library in #Kiev for years, thanks to the #nonprofit #KlezmerInstitute.
“This increases #European #klezmermusic by fourfold over what was accessible before,” Christina Crowder, the #NewHaven-based #accordion player who heads the institute, told me, adding that the collection ranges from virtuosic solo pieces to “workaday, regular old tunes.”
#Digitalphotos of hundreds of pages of #sheetmusic arrived on a memory stick at the #Yiddish #NewYork gathering in 2017, but the crowd-sourced effort to turn them into PDF files and share them on the web didn’t get going in earnest until late 2020. In the last couple of years, several #albums featuring the resurrected #klezmertunes have been recorded."

Hah, isn’t that a lovely #library? I could move in there 😍.

This is awesome: the public library in Uppsala, Sweden, has an upcoming workshop called "Give your computer new life - try Linux"

I'm starting to aquire a lot of micro SD cards for the SBC. When a distribution does exactly what I want to, I do not remove it anymore from the microSD card
It looks like I need to just buy a dozen of those things and I need to start cataloging them!
"“#Eldercide: Older #Jews and the #Holocaust,” a new #exhibition at the #London #library, shines a spotlight on this oft-forgotten demographic. Co-curated by Schmidt and Stone, the show draws on photographs, documents, rare recordings and family heirlooms to illustrate the richness of its subjects’ lives, which started in the shadow of the #IndustrialRevolution and, for many, ended in #Nazi gas chambers. “Eldercide” also examines the unique predicaments that older Jews faced both during and after the war.
While today’s visitors to the library might associate the phrase “elderly Jews” with the roughly 220,800 Holocaust survivors still living in 2025, these individuals were relatively young during World War II."
Happy Halloween, punks! Let's all take a moment to remember the year I made my confused husband dress up as a paywall so I could be Open Access Hero.

"Experts in a #Warsaw laboratory worked to revive several hundred rescued #Jewish #books after one of the largest discoveries of such material in #Poland in decades.
The researchers removed about 40 to 50 sacks—roughly 1.5 tons—from a locked basement near the #Nożyk #Synagogue. The bags held mold-covered holy texts, some now linked to the long-lost #library of the #Yeshiva of the Sages of #Lublin, which disappeared during the #Holocaust."

4 Library Collections Filled With Culinary Treasures via Gastro Obscura
[Shared]Today, there are cookbooks on every conceivable subject, from preparing insects to recreating Game of Thrones recipes. Passionate collectors have amassed vast collections of culinary books, often out of sheer passion and curiosity for the subject.
As I researched this article, I noticed a common thread in many culinary libraries, where individual collectors with thousands of books ended up donating them to grateful institutions.

- an intro to various hydroponic methods
- a detailed description of the Kratky Method
- various resources for hydroponics
- an example grow-bin that you can build yourself

I requested the purchase. In the time between the library emailing me that they bought a copy, and me refreshing Overdrive, someone got in and got it, LOL.

Bibliotheksaal Reichsabtei Schussenried.
The lavish library room of the Schussenried Abbey in Baden-Württemberg, Germany is part of the "Neue Kloster" built between 1752 and 1763 by Abbot Siard Frick under plans by architect Dominikus Zimmermann.
The project was interrupted in 1763 when funds ran out and the abbot was dismissed.

5 Museums And Organizations With Free Art For Your Home via House Digest

All you need to do from there is potentially frame your new art and put it in the perfect room where it might become one of your favorite pieces. In order to find a wide range of possibilities, you can simply check out the various museums, universities, libraries, and other organizations that have made some of the pieces in their collections free to use. Take time to browse the online assortments and you can find paintings, photographs, illustrations, and much more.

Library magic continues! Collected another stamp for my #library passport -- poor librarian had to run around half the library to get me a stamp! This library is gorgeous, love the inscription (paradise is a library), plus eager patrons offering up bookstore recs.
