For readers...
Yep (watches as half the audience leaves the room) for readers. There is an extension that allows you to see instantly if your library has a book that you are thinking of buying ...available for loan. You can use this on amazon (as well as on audible), goodreads, and Barnes and Noble. I've not used it for myself, and I probably won't since I look for books via my phone.
People who use overdrive and Hoopla can use this extension as well. I thought it was cool, and while I won't be using it, I know a few people here who may benefit from it.
No, I don't know if it works for movie loans, but I am sure there will be an extension / app for that purpose soon enough.
What are you up to tonight?
What's your favorite show at the moment?
Favorite Book?
Podcast?
Cat?
Dog?
Sister?
I don't know, just giving you guys something to talk to me about since half of you guys don't read.

@LadyDuck Ah, that sounds a bit like a territorial dispute.

I have been cat watching the past two days. One of my neighbors cats likes to be outside, but she isn't a fna of rain. When it is raining you'll see her running back to shelter. I also just saw a dog outside with a collar, one I had never seen before. I went outside to intercept it but it was already gone. I just hope it makes it's way home by itself.

@ScribbledAdNauseum The two cats of one neighbor came inside and immediately after also the one of the other neighbor and then they started to argue and I have sent them all home to calm down.

Cool extension. I will install it later. I always look up books on Overdrive. I don't have a favorite show right now. But I have been watching Treadstone, The Witcher, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Don't have a favorite book right now. My favorite cat is Lily of course. No dogs and no sisters.

I want to read The Witcher as I believe it's a book series.
I need to start using overdrive instead of the libby app because the libby app is still glitchy.

@JESSY3236 I don't think I even new about the video game. I don't stay in touch with the gaming world as much as I once did. I tinker around with minecraft more than anything else anymore.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yeah it's a book series. I thought the show was based on the video game, but it's more based on the books. I haven't read the books.

That is interesting. Not sure if I will use it though.

Yeah, I thought it was interesting but I also feel like most people will forget to use it. There is also no telling whether it would bog down the browser. I'm just the messenger, don't know anymore than what the article says.
