This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A friend of mine shared this receipt from her local library which shows how much money she's saved by using it. (lemmy.world)

Yeah that's definitely where that amount is coming from if it's been well over a decade. Books are actually really fricken expensive!

Especially children's books in terms of a per-page ratio. You check out 10 children's books, because your kid will get through them all in a few days, that could be $200 worth of books.

With children's books most of the page count will be in illustrations. You'll go through them very quickly.
