Tell me you are a library user without telling me you are a library user. 📚 💙

1. You have your library card number memorized, but not your debit card PIN.
2. You get the “your hold is ready” email and feel pure serotonin.
3. You say “I’m just picking up one hold” and leave with seven.
4. You can navigate the online catalogue faster than most websites.
5. You check your library account like it’s social media.
6. You don’t mind rainy days because they’re perfect for reading.
7. You don’t buy books but you borrow 27 at a time.
8. You know the exact due date but still renew it three times.
9. You call it “my library“ and mean it.
