    What are heavy? Sea-sand & sorrow What are brief? Today & tomorrow What are frail? Spring blossoms & youth What are deep? The ocean & truth.

    May we clarify too? @openlibrary is FREE. 3M+ digital books. Fees? Nope! Just 2M under-served international readers who rely on our accessible books: openlibrary.org P.S. Who stands up for blind, dyslexic, & print-disabled readers if not for libraries? #SupportLibraries

    Oh, did we forget to mention? @openlibrary's catalog just passed 1M borrowable books, thanks to @internetarchive. 880k are borrowable right now. 20k books added just this month. No big deal really. It's just 1M books. #Reading #books #libraries

    Look, libraries have 1⃣ job: invest their resources to serve the underserved public. When conditions are hardest, that's when it's *most* important to do our jobs well. We're not perfect, but we are working as hard as we can, with what we have, to restore services for everyone.
