HOW TO EXPLOIT THIS SYSTEM (Morally)
- Ask for "hidden menu" - no services are advertised
- Request Purchase -Libraz often buys demanded items
- Donate strategically dense seeds/equipment to expand the inventory
FAQ:
Q: If they are not advertised then how will I get these services?
A: "Ask" what strange things can I borrow? "
Q: Can I really get into trouble to use these flaws?
A: "Not until you steal the seed packet.
Q: What is the most valuable item borrowed to anyone?
A: "A patron in Toronto examined $ 3,000 telescope for six months. Rule? Just bring it back to cleaner as much as you found."
Q: Do the library track what I borrow?
A: "Most of the pej records automatically- but for true oblivion, pay cash for print jobs and use guest Wi-Fi."
Q: How are the libraries doing all this?
A: "Your taxes have already paid for it. He passes $ 10,000 3D printer? Grants money. Passed those free museums? Donated by institutions."
Q: What is the most library hack you have seen?
A: "A filmmaker borrowed historical pictures from the archives, used them in a documentary, then donated back to DVD- to get free arithmetic rights forever."
WHY DOES IT MATTER NOW
As soon as the budget shrinks, the use data protects libraries from cuts. Each borrowed unit or 3D-affected trinket proves to be their worth.
Your trick: This week, go to your library and ask:
"What's the most strange thing here?"
(PS Librarians love strange requests - it keeps their work interesting.)
