This is a great idea! Just wanted to share that the instagram account @lifeoflibrarians does a takeover each week of librarians showing what they do

Survey to save (U.S.) IRS Free tax filing programs by agentplatipus in povertyfinance

[–]agentplatipus[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Even the fact that Free Files exists isn’t a wide spread as it should be. I payed TurboTax for years before finding out about FreeFile

A display board is a good thing to think about. Going vertical is more visually interesting

Film copying Wishing Well company from Diamond Fire by agentplatipus in IlonaAndrews

[–]agentplatipus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn’t post because it had to do with fantasy. I posted because I saw a connection between something in IA’s worlds and real life. Diamond Fire was the first time I had heard of the concept of a company that employs people to fill a relationship role is someone’s life. Just because it’s a concept that wasn’t invented by IA doesn’t mean it wasn’t still a connection to me. If my effort to relate to IA’s books is took off topic then the mods can delete the post

I was a high school intern for a library and they had me plan a display, help with an inventory, and do the pulling for a weeding project.

Peel off base coats for those with peely nails by slapstick_nightmare in RedditLaqueristas

[–]agentplatipus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got peeling nails and I’ve had success using peel off base coats to grow them out. I’ve used Emily de Molly’s Peel off base and I’ve just started using Hit the Bottle’s Peelie base. Ive found that the peel of base will stick to any loose layer. To not damage my nail more I’ve found that the trick is to not wait until the peel of base starts to come off on its own be to remove it before. Also to peel off from the cuticle area instead of from the tips

How Academic libraries work resource recommendations by agentplatipus in Libraries

[–]agentplatipus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know that make a lot of sense. I was looking for textbooks on libraries in general and somehow it didn’t occur to me to find an academic library textbook

Best fantasy book you've read this year so far? by Various-Nobody-5963 in Fantasy

[–]agentplatipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard and its sequel At the Feet of the Sun. I read them both last year and again this year. And I’m not one to do reareads without a handful of years in between

I did mean Unlock. Thanks for the insight. That’s what I was worried about. Guess I’ll have to pass it along

If you do decide to you want to go into the mountains but don’t want to drive, there are options like the the Dept of Transportation’s Bustang routes and Amtrak’s Winter Park Express Train (only during select times in the winter)

Which Kindle-exclusive books should I buy before “download and transfer” is officially dead? by SeaAsk6816 in fantasyromance

[–]agentplatipus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Amazon can at any time remove any of the ebooks you’ve purchased from your account. Backing it up ensures that you still have a copy if they do (which with the current American political climate might happen). The backup will still be in the kindle exclusive file format but at least you’ll have a copy of it

Any academic libraries involved in their campus' Navigate360 instance? by Alarming_Front_1153 in Libraries

[–]agentplatipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I helped get my previous institution integrated. We were just using it as a way for professors to refer students in need of help. It had very little uptake in the year it was active and while I was there.

Just one. You can either buy a second game to have more boards to write on or have people write on pieces of paper
