What if public libraries...

I don't understand what is funny here. Many university librairies are open until 9 p.m and there is still people at the closing that would stay later. If every librairie were open until 10 p.m or midnight, you can be sure that some people would make use of it.

Idk how it works in your country but where I am, anyone can access a university library and many students also frequent the public library. So basically, if every library were open late, anyone could go to the library of they choosing.

Were they even that way? I mean, from as long as I can remember there was quiet and non quiet times, quiet and non quiet spaces in librairies. I've never heard of one were it is fully silent all the time. Isn't that just the case in movies for comedic effect?

French protesters storm an industrial port aboard a catamaran

Reply in thread

It part of the protesting movement against the megabassine in what protesters call now the "water war". The objective of this particular protest was to block the port of the city of La Rochelle which is considered by protester to enable the owner of the megabassine to do the business that require such a big use of water. The mouvement has its own french wikipédia article . You can use a translator to learn more about it there.

How do we encourage people who grow food to share it?

What is FNB?

But the only way I can think of to get the idea out there that people should share what they grow is to flat-out say, “you should share what you grow”

Have you tried the following?
"That would make great gift!"
"You don't have to worry about finding present idea!"
"your [insert family member from a different household]/neighbour must love them!"
"I wish I had such a production. I could give some to [insert charity] they always need some."
"Your friend must love you (^_-)" ~ Ok, that one is a bit rude, but you can reformulate.

People don't become in one day generous people that are open to give away and share there private property. It happened over time, starting with sharing within the most intimate circle and slowly spreading away until reaching strangers. Something like family>friend>neighbour>college>extended family> local community> anyone that could need it.

You could also mention how they could benefit from being part of community that share and how just a few people starting to share come make it possible.
