@lorcanD The interlibrary loan service is amazing. As an author they've helped me for years to get access to books that would be impossible otherwise. I've mentioned libraries in the acknowledgements of all my books.

"Regardless of how one feels about—and the legality of—the National Emergency Library..., Authors Alliance fully supports Controlled Digital Lending and believes the attempt to challenge it in the courts is without merit." https://t.co/3PNmp8bMxb

"We sometimes refer to libraries, archives and museums as 'memory institutions.' That’s not a bad description. But it’s not complete. Because memory implies something that is in the past..." So proud to be part of @OCLC right now https://t.co/G7IxY6egOz

[Peter Collins @ILL_Peter]

@OCLC just added an interactive map to help libraries safely return #interlibraryloan books. This project relies on community-sourced data. Is your library on the map? #together #ResourceSharing https://t.co/TWaYMw244R

[Peter Collins @ILL_Peter]

Always cool to see the global reach of OCLC ILL #ResourceSharing

Even if your local library is closed, they are still providing great educational and entertaining content online. Many are supporting those in need and offering innovative services during the crisis. Support #Libraries
