due to Library Is Super Broken I am strongly considering roadtripping to a library that has the book I want, since the interlibrary loan request I put in is probably on indefinite hiatus. cool and fun normal activities for women
also I would have to apply for a Visiting Researcher Appointment to look at the book which makes me feel ✨very special✨
"local library had a ransomware attack" is one of the funnier justifications i've seen for a roadtrip
I mean I'd probably stop in for ice cream or something while I was in Portland but. yeah pretty much lol
(according the WorldCat the closest libraries to me that are also fun roadtrip locations are Vancouver, BC and Portland, OR... so...)
i got one of those for newberry library as a teenager so i can confirm it feels great
at least 10% of the reason i applied to grad school is the hope of gaining enough cred to watch the recorded stage version of amadeus, with tim curry and ian mckellen, which is buried under copyright in an archive somewhere
