Library of Blabber is an odd little experience that in which you search for any form of sense in an infinite library, filled with an infinite amount of randomly generated books (mostly) filled with gibberish.
Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ story The Library of Babel, and Jonathan Basile’s libraryofbabel.info project, the chances of you ever finding anything resembling a sentence, let alone a readable book are ridiculously small.
However, there’s always a chance – after-all, much like the logic of the Infinite Monkey Theorem, an infinite library must contain every book that can, and will ever exist. So everything from the complete works of shakespeare to that homework essay you wrote when you were 12 is in there somewhere among the infinite nonsense. Unfortunately you’d probably need an infinite amount of people or an infinite amount of time to find anything meaningful, but you can always try!

EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.
but why
Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.
The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.
I get so sad whenever I think about this.
Willard Library is one of the most haunted places in the United States. However one image from the library’s ghost feed is very disturbing. On August 8th 2003, this image was captured on the feed. It shows a black mass crawling on the floor in the children’s section. This spirit along with the infamous Gray Lady are some of the ghosts that the small Indiana library is proud to house.

Space mom! Today I went to the library to steal the wifi (because I’m poor and can’t afford that fancy, city slicker stuff) and a man from Africa asked me to help him with his computer engineering course work. I worked with him for THREE HOURS and we got a 93!

This is a book store called El Ateneo in Buenos Aires, Argentina! You can have coffee while sitting on the stage. One of my favorite places in my city.

Today I learned
Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.
Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.
Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL
You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.
