Introducing Library Joy

We love libraries. What an idea! We imagine along with Borges that "paradise must be some kind of library."

We'd like to share Beyond with more people, and libraries are sharing kinds of places. By sending Beyond to libraries, we limit our use of trees and ink (see The Myth of Bookstores) and make each copy go further. Plus, since a no-ads magazine is more expensive to produce than most magazines (see How to Make a Magazine: Real Costs), people who might not be able to afford Beyond can enjoy us too.

"Library Joy" is our way of putting Beyond into libraries of all kinds.You can help us make library joy by connecting us with a library. Or you can donate a Beyond subscription to the library joy program and we'll match you with one of the libraries on our list. We'll be highlighting the libraries we circulate into right here at the blog and hope to have Beyond floating around communities of all kinds in the weeks to come.

So c'mon, nominate a library. Donate to a library. Jump for Library Joy. And circulate the goodness!
