You can borrow ebooks and audiobooks for FREE with your San Antonio Public Library card. You don’t even have to drive to the library. Just download the app, connect your card, and start reading or listening right from your phone.

I feel like a lot of people don’t know about this, especially if you’re trying to learn something new, get into business, or just listen to a good book while driving.

Free knowledge right at your fingertips. Hard to beat that.

Anybody else in SA use Libby? What books are y’all reading lately?

Looks like a reference to all this controversy: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/23/brandon-herrera-ulvade-congress-race

Anyone know of any cute bookstore in SA? I’ve been to book nerd and loved it and was wondering if there were any other hidden book gems

Sharing from social media. These guys are regularly doing charity campaigns helping San Antonians. Good chance to maybe clean out your coat closets. 😉

Was sitting on top of the radio inside the housing like it slipped in.

Not my particular style of music and it looked rather scratched but i did leave it to where it could be seen if anyone wants to check it out

Is it anything niche or unknown?

no whit excuse not to

Its me again! There is a noise show at There and Back Again Books. I cant assure you that you will like what the performers do, but i can assure you it will be a new experience if you have never been exposed to that type of stuff before. All artists are local, and some of them are veterans in the "scene." Oltre La Morte is playing for the first time in 14 years so it is also historic. He used tk book me on shows when I was a kid. I would post the flyer but last time it got taken down immediately and now I am gun shy. There is also a fest going on next month at bluestar on the 21st and 22nd. All shows are donation based and also we accept mutual aid donations. Right now cold weather stuff is needed. If you have questions feel free to DM. Trust me when I say you will never forget this night if you attend! Also this is to help support the bookstore. Every dollar goes to the owner!

For anyone else who’s in the Medical Center area:

St. Luke’s Catholic Church is currently running a collection for Coats for Kids until November 22nd. The church is located at 4603 Manitou Dr, San Antonio, TX 78228 and has collection bins in the church foyer and parish hall. New or gently used coats appreciated.

The church also has a chapter of the Society of St. Vincent, which is primarily a food bank that also offers clothing, household goods, and bus passes depending on availability. This service is open to all, no need to join the organization or Church to participate. They also help families who are in need of a Thanksgiving dinner. Contact into and hours of operation are here: https://saintlukeparish.com/st-vincent-de-paul

Hey yall I was recently offered a RN job at university women and children’s. I’m a new grad w prior healthcare experience. I’m really excited since it’s my dream hospital ! I’m just waiting for the official offer from HR 😀.

Wondering if any nurses could chime in who work or have worked here recently? Mainly wondering what you loved about working here and what you don’t like ? I’m sure some is unit specific but still love the insight!

-Also wondering about base pay offered at your unit (I know it varies by unit and experience!)
-was your previous healthcare experience like MA, tech, EMT taken into consideration w pay, night shift diff , weekend diff, etc.
-Can you tell me how PTO accrues? What’s the difference between staff 1,2,3 and is there a pay increase % for each one? Is there a retention bonus?
-If you need time off but don’t have PTO (like kiddos are ill or something) can you just do unpaid leave?
-Also has anyone experienced maternity leave what’s that like and how long do you get paid/unpaid?
-Did you feel your unit was supportive and collaborative on orientation and afterwards?

Thanks so much! Any insight is great. 🙏🏻

My sister called the Express News, trying to cancel my mom's paper subscription. She has been a subscriber for YEARS. They told her to at least stay with digital , that she would lose her email account if she cancelled all together. How the hell can the Express News control sbcglobal.net email. Sounds like a scam to me.

Graduations this semester and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to reserve to eat with family after

Been noticing some new vehicles they've rolled out. Im sure seasoned drivers around SA know the typical looks and can tell when a police vehicle is dressed civilian, but the new ones are tricky.

Besides that mustang on the news, they got new SUV's and im not talking about the usual ford explorer models, they got something else, couldn't tell what, but the front end looked jeep, while the rear looked escalade.

Thing is, it didn't have discernible markings for what make and model it was. Atleast none that i could see.

Heres what i noticed.

- Front and rear lights were shaped different. No more of the iconic boxed lights with the yellow eyebrows, now they're rounded.

- segmented police lights along the chasis of the rear hatch door.

- Barely visible police livery along the doors, even during the day. Legally they must have marked vehicles, but they push the legality with loopholes and make the markings almost match the paint of the rest of the car.

- police spotlight along the drivers side front.

- no more obvious rounded hub caps. They look like regular wheels now.

- black tinted windows except for the front windows, drivers, passengers, and windshield.

- they decided to keep some chrome trimmings like a civilian vehicle would have. Namely along the sides and rear hatch door of the vehicle.

- no rear exhaust pipe was visible. If it was there it could've been a curved pipe hidden in the chasis.

- numbered license plates for now. Im pretty sure eventually they'll change them to normal looking plates soon.

Just posting this for people to be informed. Its the end of the month so yall know they'll be out en mass to make ticket quotes especially since its Halloween.

Ive already seen them pulling people over like crazy the past couple days.

Be safe, go the speed limit.

Make sure you're vehicles are maintained. No busted lights, visible license plates. Dont give them a reason.

This isn't about wanting to bring our pets everywhere, this is because our home has to be empty for 2 hours while it's treated for mold - but we're not sure where we can go with our pets. (one cat, one dog)

They would be in carriers, but we do need AC for the cat, and it needs to be open in the morning from 10-12 at least (our one idea doesn't open until noon).

Any ideas of someplace we can wait this out would be appreciated! I'm located fairly north.

EDIT: Thanks so much everybody! I think just hanging out at a park will be it.

For over two hours now, the intersection at Huebner and Vance Jackson has been flashing red lights. No one seems to treat it as a four way stop. Cars just behind other cars to "squeeze through" kids earlier trying to cross almost getting hit. The police should be out here guiding traffic before a major accident happens or somebody gets hit trying to cross the street. I've only lived here a few years but have lived in other major cities and I've never had to wait this long to see a response on a major intersection at least have the police directing traffic.

I’m looking for recommendations of medical providers of some sort with specialized experience or interest in Milk & Soy Protein Intolerance. I have a 12m old who fits the bill and I have heard most pediatricians have very little knowledge or valuable advice on this. Thanks!

I have a friend whose roomie unfortunately was arrested while on his way to visit his mom in Laredo. He had a lawyer but that lawyer ended leaving for reasons that are unknown to me. The roomie is down on his luck financially and needs a lawyer that can do payment plans cuz the ones he’s looked into wanted a lot upfront. Any lawyer you know of that fits this description, please drop their name and info below so that i can forward this info to my friend. Thanks in advance.

Looking for a place (preferably on the north side) with good atmosphere and of course sound on the game. Thanks!

Anyone currently or attended UIW’s ABSN program?? What was your experience? What should I know before starting? Seeking advise. I start in spring 2027 with no healthcare experience.

It lasted about 20 mins and told the story of Texas. I think I’m missing some historical context, or maybe I just didn’t pay attention during history because I admit I was lost a couple of places. But the visuals were stunning. It was free just walk up and enjoy
