- Hello. In this video we are going to get free books. I like free books so much. The only downside is you have to give them back but still, pretty sick deal. I also have a Beartown update for ya. Thanks for watching lol.
As a librarian myself, I love when people promote local libraries. Every local library is so much more than just books. They’re creative spaces, safe spaces, and spaces full of wonder and joy.
So glad to see a BookTuber promote libraries rather than silly hundred-book hauls. Libraries are sick!!
switching to library book hauls, haha!
The best days are when I get an email saying my library holds are ready for pickup 🥰
Libraries are sick! I love a library haul. I always go to my local library and browse the “new arrivals” section, then wander the shelves. I love to take a risk on something I’ve never heard of before, if I like it, I have a new favorite, and if I don’t, it costs me nothing but whatever time I spent. Can’t wait to see more of your library hauls!
As a school librarian I love this so much 💖
I generally don’t re-read fiction so I rarely buy them. The library, Hoopla, and Libby are my free book places that I look to first. Thanks for the amazing tour!
Thank you for supporting your local library! As a library worker I can tell you that even if you just come in and browse you're helping us. That door count means a lot! Don't forget about Interlibrary Loan if you want some more choices.
Keep doing what you're doing Nick. I LOVE the style of your videos. No plingy plonky music. No setting up a camera randomly on the other side of a cafe to film you reading. No sponsors. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with those kinds of videos. But they have been done to death; so many out there. I love your raw, genuine style. Pretty sure I've re-watched all your videos about 3 times now!
You my man made me get a library card lol
Loved the commentary and how excited you were to visit the library. So fun to watch!
Ahhh yes, libraries 🤔….borrowing books…...returning them 😳. Well, as a bookaholic I MUST own the books, but luckily my library has a wonderful used book store inside 😚📚.
Oh yes! I love the used bookstores in libraries! There are a few where I live, the prices range from (and I'm putting all the prices together): 10 cents to $5!
As a fellow person who is also needing to stop spending money, the library has kind of turned from a good alternative to buying books into my holy grail for books. Would love to see you visit some more libraries and do some hauls!
I got library envy watching this 😅
Libraries have transformed my life (became a Libby power user in 2020) and I'm subscribing to see your future hauls. Thanks for sharing!
How ironic ... I went to the Library earlier today and then I turn on the computer and see this ..... Love it ...Last week I picked up "small things like these" and another from a new author, read them and went back this morning to return them, picked up "Foster" by Claire Keegan and "Spring Girls" ... Spring Girls is by Karen Katchur (A new author for me) . I read Cold Woods by Katchur last week. I was not familiar with her until I discovered her during my visit to the library.
Yaaaaay, I eschew books haul videos but will always be here for library hauls!!
Your life is about to be forever altered by the library. My local library plays a large part of my life.
I have a small book budget but a large library “budget.” Great to see libraries being promoted here on your channel. I’ve read a couple of books by Fredrik Backman and loved them both. I’ll have to check out Bear Town. Thanks for another great video!
Libraries are the best and I'm lucky that my city has excellent provision. I often borrow double what I'm able to read so I have options, but also so that the records show the books have interest (which helps library funding) and also so the authors get their (tiny) royalties.
22 libraries?!?!? I also love Jason chillin in the back saying “go to the library or else.”
He keeps me in line
Folly and Glory is the last book in a 4 book series. McMurtry’s standalone novels are; Cadillac Jack (1982), Anything for Billy (1988), Buffalo Girls (1990), Pretty Boy Floyd (1994), Zeke and Ned (1997), Boon’s Lick (2000), Loop Group (2004), Telegraph Days 2006) and The Last Kind Words Saloon (2014)
Well crap - haha! Thank you for looking into that for me!
They have a hidden gem section? That's awesome.
Also Mitch Albom is amazing! The five people you meet in heaven is my favorite book of all time. You will have to do a recap/review once you get through these!
I just watched one of your videos for the first time today and I really enjoyed it. A Canadian though, definitely getting a subscribe!
Libraries are amazing! I love using the library for e-books, audiobooks and movies as well as the physical books.
22 libraries?! 😭 That library is gigantic! My city only has one library and it's 2 levels. The King books at my library are always checked out and have wait lists.
Have you tried inter-library loans?
@@lizc.214 I collect King books, so I own whatever I'll be reading. I've just had coworkers tell me that the library's King books are always on wait/hold lists.
I love the library. I have been going to my local library for over 20 years. I love it there. I would recommend making an online profile so you can put books on order on hold. That's how I read new releases!
LOVE my local library! Love to see the support here on YT!
I have easy access to the Boston Public Library but omgosh, I have library envy!
I really enjoy my local library. Its half the size of one of the floors at Hamilton. Keep showing your libraries because the variety of books you show can be vast without spending a penny. The last couple of years in the states is very difficult for many people to buy things just because they want them so libraries are getting popular again.
I can't believe you live in the Hammer. I love the central library. I've been changing careers and I've been reading my new textbooks there b/c I can't do it at home. I do love a good thrift store. Value Village has a huge used book section. Also, when i lived in Verdun Montreal the used books section of The Renaissance was amazing. I still can't believe I got Asymmetry for $1. I love your channel. Please keep going.
Hey man, Just wanted to give you a shout out. Been following along since like week 2 or 3, and I really love it. I've been a lifelong library supporter, and your 'window shopping' method of book finding resonates with me haha. Also, I'm about to get into the bear town series thanks to you, and it's available at my local library. Cheers!
This is the most realistic booktober video I've watched. Thank you
I rember watching the O.C., My uncles music got played on their show. such good times!
I love the library tour. I was born and raised in Hamilton so it was nice to see Hamilton Public Library. Really, Good, Actually is better than 3.1 than Goodreads suggests.
Libraries are the absolute best. It is the foundation of a community. I go to libraries for the same reason you do : I buy too many books! And I live in a studio apartment!
You are so fun and we def share the same reading vibe. I have never read Lonesome Dove. Going in for it. Beartown on TBR so I am in. Keep going and never worry about the like and subscribe ... I bet that happens easily for you! Keep the videos coming! On my way to library on the way home. Fave place. You are super refreshing in terms of book tubers!
You are so lucky to have aces to such butyffull librairies!
Hello! I’m a new subscriber and I LOVE your channel! Backman is one of my favorite current authors - he is SO good!!! Also, the Spears book felt like the McCurdy book to me - loved it but sad at times. I’m on the board of trustees for my local library and I love seeing people promote the libraries in their area! I buy a lot of books but also try supporting the libraries as well. Keep up the great work on the channel…love it!!! And don’t feel bad about asking people to like or subscribe…all CZcamsrs do it :)
The printer area looks awesome. Wish we had something like that. If you print some of your work, I hope you show us. Thanks!
You have 22 libraries in your city, how amazing! I had no idea until now that there are 27 libraries in Seattle, where I live, and I've only been to maybe 6 of them. It makes me wonder what cities anywhere in the world have the most libraries or the most bookstores, it's such a happy thing to think about. Just subbed to your channel. I wish you and your family all the best.
I just finished The Phlebotomist by Chris Panatier, I think you'd love it!! Best to go in blind I think. Its a sci-fi, thriller sprinkled with super hilarious interaction between the 2 main characters, its a hidden gem for sure. Your library is AWESOME! Er, SICK!
Libraries are the best! When my wife borrows books from the library, she calls it stealing from the library just to keep it funny and interesting. Loved seeing this video!
I’ve been a big library person my whole life. I have loved it since I was a child. I’ve even requested that my library purchase books they don’t have and they usually buy them. If not I try buying used books.
I haven't read The Woman in Me yet, but from what I've heard, it's incredibly enraging, frustrating, and saddening. What was done to her, what she was put through, by her own family... Unimaginable.
I've recently been checking out audiobooks from my local library after a hiatus of a few yrs. Have not had great luck w audiobooks in the past but wanted something to do while I knit & do cross stitch.
The first book in the Thalia series - Horseman, Pass By - is a must read!!! It's a tough one.
I love your videos, I got back into reading a lot about 5 years ago and rediscovered my local library (tiny!) but it makes a huge difference.
Some of the librarians save me books and leave me notes in my pick up of authors they think I would like
Can't wait to see what you pick up next x
What I do. Go to library, browse the top/bottom shelves, pull books at random and see if it peaks your interest, check out.
If books are sick then the Library is my hospital. And my specialist is my Librarian. She told me there's no cure for me. I said, I suspected that. But, well, I'll die happy. (Just got my new prescription-Blind Date with a Book. Which is "HOTEL MAGNIFIQUE.")😊
If you like new releases at all, using the library’s hold list is a great way to snag shiny new copies of books set aside for you.
What a library! We have a few libraries in our area and they are building one much closer. They have online book delivery which I take advantage and then there is a book drop off less than 10 mins from my house so I take advantage when I can't make it physically there.
I’m about to start my MLIS in the fall! Love that you’re promoting local libraries!
I LOVE a library haul! I've been trying to use my local library system more this year too. They are so great. I'm obsessed with that library. Five floors??!?! that's incredible.
oh! the try this instead of Stephen King sign has John Saul on it! me and my sister used to read him like CRAZY when I was in middle school! I wrote to him and he sent me a head shot. lol
Beautiful library, thanks for sharing the tour. You’re very lucky to live in such a big city with so many. My local one isn’t that big but they are very nice there and are always willing to get something from another branch if I can’t find what I want.
I get all my books from the library too. And if I love a book, I'll buy myself a copy. I usually have the intention of re-reading them but even if I don't it's still worth it. I decorate with my favorite books because I love that I can get the same feeling I had while reading them when I look at them.
So great to see libraries featured on booktube! I love my local library, I borrow ebooks.
Just found your channel. Good stuff! Subbed!
This is the BEST! I loved every minute of this video. And I’m totally here for more library tours and hauls!!! Can I subscribe more than once 🤓😉
I actually started reading Beartown on your recommendation - my third Backman to date. Anxious People was good, but A Man Called One was definitely the best one in my opinion and I think you'll really like it!
Wow what a gorgeous building, love how industrial it is. So many books 😍 I've been meaning to read Lonesome Dove..
Wow! What an incredible library! Our libraries are not being valued by our government in the UK. Loved this video!
I live in a small county in Virginia. I have a library card for where I live and the next county over. What I love about the library is you can look up a book on their online system, put it on hold and they'll transfer it to the library you choose. The libraries in the county aren't big but between the two counties I can usually get what I want. I also love going to look for different books and also the library book sales. You can get some nice used books at our libraries. Paperbacks are a $1 and hardbacks are like $2.
Glad you are now going to use your libraries. Here in the UK our libraries are disappearing due to funding. A 3D PRINTER. Who is funding your brilliant library? My local library is funed by local council hence why thay are going.
One 'borrows' books from Public Libraries,not 'rents': no money involved! Commenting as a borrower/member of the Public Library services since 1968. 😊
Mitch alboom is one of my favorite authors. Enjoy
Really Good Actually was a fun read, especially being a Canadian.
Fun video! BTW, some people will just use a subscribe sticker or gif discreetly in their videos. Might be worth a try if you feel awkward just saying it. Happy reading!
Using the library becomes addicting, I'm in them every other day at the moment. But it's also just a fantastic way to get more books read because of the time crunch I find, even though I do occasionally take advantage of the online renewal system 😂 Great video as always!
Cool! The Hammer has a nice library system - we have an old Carnagie library here in Ottawa (or maybe more than one) and I wonder if there are any there? They are so quaint and quiet. In my hometown up north the library lends out fishing rods. Libraries are wonderful :)
I've been going to the library a lot this year!
Field trip, field trip!!!
Loved Britney’s memoir ❤️ - I reflected on it after reading longer than I expected! Her vulnerability while discussing motherhood was so meaningful! Hope you enjoy it!
What a fun video!
My library is small and I'm envious of your library! Its beautiful! ❤️ Excellent video and newish subscriber catching up on your channel! (Also are you on Goodreads? Would love to follow your reviews there!)
Back an has a book called "Anxious People" that my wife and I LOVED.
The End is book 6 of Knausgaard’s 6 book auobiographic hexalogy. When you decide to read Knausgaard, you need to read them all because he does a breakdown in The End and it’s spoilery if you miss out on the previous 5. The entire hexalogy is well worth it and I loved it. Strong recommend.
in the britney spears book there are sooo soo many mistakes in my german version..pretty annoying haha. lovin the library tour thanks:-)
Libraries?! What kind of anti-consumer nonsense is this?! Lol Just messing around, love the channel!
I got my very first library card this year at age 56 for the same reasons. I'm looking forward to visiting the library and saving money... but now my conundrum is "do I read my unread books on my shelves at home OR get a library book?" A good problem to have for sure though. lol. P.S. I live in Edmonton and we only have 21 libraries here.. who knew that Hamilton would have more libraries than us? lol.. Enjoy.
A good short book that will change your perspective on people is lord of the flies! I dont know if you have read it but you havnt you definitely should.
Nice Pixies shirt!!
omg I wonder if we have mega photo printers at my library?! I need some prints of my stuff! also just preordered 2 of the new Fujis, since yer a photo guy maybe you'll know what I mean, lol
22?! We have one! Im jealous.
Book Suggestion: Should buy/read Jack London's 'The Call of the Wild and Other Stories'. Update - 'Into Thin Air' is a good as / if not better than 'Into The Wild'.
The Last Picture Show by McMurtry is a must read
Do you all have Libby (app for e-books & audiobooks) in Canada like here in the US? I rarely go to the library for physical books because I have so many unread books on my shelf to get through, but I have checked out so many e-books for Kindle reading and audiobooks for when I'm driving, cooking, gardening, walking, etc. I think you said in an early video that you were liking using your Kindle. For me it's key for evening reading b/c husband doesn't like the glare of reading lights while he's watching TV or in bed trying to sleep. Libby is fantastic - if you have it available but haven't checked it out, I highly recommend it.
Yes, we do...❤ it!
Folly and Glory is book 4 in The Berrybender Narratives.
Follow up to previous note. I now have 18 books waiting for me at my local library. I can order them online, which I do regularly as I get recommendations from booktubers.😂
I buy all my books second hand so I have loads of fiction 😂 but no non fiction. I havent been to my local library in ages, it's quite small but I might go and try and find some non fiction to read inbetween chipping away at the endless other books on my shelf.
I'd love to hear some nonfiction recommendations if anyone has any favourites.
My local library has the worst parking and most inconvenient hours, so I never really go, but I've got access to 4 different libraries on my Libby app (as a result of moving a bunch), so I can't really complain even I miss being able to wander in and find new things like when I was a kid. However, I did borrow Really Good, Actually without checking reviews and I had to DNF because the narrative voice was just😬
I wish society invested more into libraries.
Did you ever finish High Fidelity? I'm about halfway through it and surprised how true the movie stayed to the book. (which is a very good thing)
Any chance you can recommend a good book for beginner digital photography? Would also love to see some of your photographs.
aaaaaaah gingerbread was under where the crawdads sing and you didnt get it! *dramatic collapse* lol
You have to rent books at your library? At mine we just borrow them.
I had to look up "The End"
It's apparently only 1100 pages. I say "only" because it looks bigger. Maybe uses a large font.
It's part of a series by the author called "My Struggle" or in his native Swedish "Min Kamp" (PHRASING!!!!! 😳)
Looksl ike it has great reviews on Goodreads.
Woohoo!
The Little Liar is amazinggggggggggggggggg. You will like this!
I would use the library if they were closer to me but they are like 30 min away with car.
Oof! That is pretty far, I’d feel the same way.
What is your good reads account!?
*waves beartown pennant*
