Bring back dangerously tall and elaborate libraries that wouldn't look out of place in a Resident Evil game
- If a background in mountaineering isn't a qualification to work at your library, then I want nothing to do with it.
  
  They issue you a harness and arborists' knots pocket guide on the first day.
  
  Falls in Dewey Decimaaaaaaaaalllllllll
- 100000 percent this!
This place looks like a wizard boss fight location for a big d&d campaign. Sad it's gone.
- Well, the new one is really nice.
  
  That doesn't mean you get rid of the old one. Not when you can have wizard fights in it.
- It reminds me of Elden ring
- this place looks like caleb widogasts personal heaven
we used to be a society
- people used to view books
  
  kids used to want to work not play on their phones all day
This is what I imagine fantasy libraries look like.
The height of those railings makes me nervous
Make him stay, Murph. Make him stay, Murph. Don't let me leave, Murph! Don't, don't let me leave Murph! NO, NO, NO, NO!
They tear it down to make room for a fast food chili joint?
- Don't call that slop they eat on spaghetti in Cincinnati "chili." It doesn't deserve that name.
  They put cinnamon in it. Cinnamon.
  
  A little bit of cinamon and chocolate in normal, non-Ohio related, chili is really good.
  
  The tiniest pinch of cinnamon mixed in with your other spices is also great on burgers.
- wienerschnitzel drive thru
