Went to the library for the first time in decades. Wanted to look at old encyclopedia to find first mention of holocaust.

They didn't have a single edition of any encyclopedia. I also noticed while casually strolling the aisles the Kurt Vannugut section had like 4 books and no Slaughterhouse 5.

Stupid place.

go post your glow nigger drops somewhere else

>decades of work put into a project to destroy the education system, reduce funding for public amenities like libraries, and culture warriors demanding every text they don't like be banned
>how come the library doesn't have all the books???
thank republicans and evangelicals

instead of places of intellectual enlightenment, most libraries around me have become daycare centers for mentally ill adults.
the libraries are all diversity hires who are basically social workers who use the recommendations table to promote whatever the globohomo cause of the month is.

What does that even mean? ICU, Intensive Care Unit? I'm talking about books, the dictated history of man. Not some roastie in scrubs.

Isn't the bicameral mind like when primitives believed that their thoughts were beamed directly into their head by gods?

>>509009507 (OP)
>and no Slaughterhouse 5.
Anon that's Vonnegut's most popular book by a country mile, nothing else he wrote came close. Try to reason out why it might not have been there?

>>509009507 (OP)
Well we do have the internet now where you can get most books ever written instantly and likely for free

>>509011485
All of the major encyclopedias scrub previous editions so you can't find historical irregularities

Back when it was safe to get anywhere the main branch of the Seattle Public Library, I found it to be a useful resource for out of date materials. They had a fairly complete set of Sams Photofacts from 1950-1970 so I could get schematics for tube radios.

Starting about 20 years ago you could buy Photofacts in bulk for little more than postage on eBay so I didn't need to go anymore, which was fortunate because they replaced the an actual library to the faggoty architectural abomination in picrel.

The book posted is a first edition gifted to me by my father who was an archeologist and devout Catholic. The availability of historical prudence is what is in question here.

I had to use a nice city library as a remote work location last year. As you described, mine was like this. Loud or ilbehaved retards who cannot act normal for longer than 10 minutes.

Within minutes of entering the library then using the restroom, a disheveled teen begged for money.

>>509010143
I have an intense urge to burn every book on this shelf in a bonfire while dancing naked in a Cernunnos mask.
Does that make me white?

Thinking is a trap. Go with your instincts.
If your instincts are telling you to stab a guy through the gizzard with a spear then you should probably do that. You don't need some book on logic or history to tell you why.
You already know why in your heart.

>>509011236
why? clearly some jew borrowed it and never returned it to stop people getting red pilled

Libraries are homeless daycares with free WiFi and bathrooms, nothing more. Uneducated mutts don't even read the books on the shelves anymore, they're strictly for decoration.

Libraries here rent out console games and movies, it's basically blockbusters, but paid by our taxes.Peo-ple go there to be able to print documents for 10 cents instead of 1$ at staples.

Encyclopedias were scams sold to retards. They are like Wikipedia but only had one retard from the CIA editing it. The entries were so short you could not even seem smart at parties with them. Please, for the love of god, stop. Also, they will order Slaughterhouse 5 from the Jr High School for you so don't go there and try and check it out yourself.

thanks for sharing this entertaining and whimsical story

We have security guards at our libraries to keep order among the niggers and stop sandniggers from fapping at the computers. The librarian union questioned the “silence norm” because of “whiteness”. A few of them got beaten and raped by niggers. Kek.

My father had a huge library as a child, including encyclopedias. This was before the internet; I was born in '83. The encyclopedias were incredibly stimulating to my young imagination and contributed to a life-long love of learning and reading.

Libraries are just homeless shelters around here.

Don't think I've been to a non-university library since the internet became a thing.

i tried going back to the libraries around where I grew up when visiting family a couple years ago. There selection is pathetic and midwit-tier to say the least. Not much of value there actually, more like the leftovers from public education (not surprising).

I was looking for some stuff on Marshal Michel Ney, Napoleon's right-hand man. Not only did they have nothing on him in the library I was at (the largest library in the whole inter-library system they had of 15 libraries), but they had nothing on him in ANY of the libraries. I asked the librarian to check herself as maybe I wasn't checking correctly (somehow?). Then I remembered - oh yeah, he's a white guy. So yeah, it makes sense. Non-ooga-boogas aren't treated very highly in the public library system of the US.

I looked in the window of a local bookstore (Waterstones with a fake local name) and everything was pozzed bullshit written by niggers, faggots or women.
I only pirate books now.
