Why am I buying books? I finish 1 out of every 4 I start. Libraries exist. (And they usually have an app now that lets you rent audiobooks or ebooks for free)
besides free books (physical, digital, audio) the amount of stuff u have access to is wild. i’m talking board games, sewing machines, language classes, coding lessons, cds and dvds (that you can rip and copy and kEEP - none of the librarians are gonna tell you shit for that), maker spaces, 3D printers, community events, ballet classes, movie nights, car repair lessons, resume help, free national park tickets, bat tours during october! It’s great! And for free?!?? in thIS economy? Literally why pay for a coworking space when the library is Right there, with free wifi and quiet rooms all to yourself. And if there are things you don’t see offered but want to? Ask! Or even better, offer!! Start your own thing, get to know your community members. Utilize your third spaces, they’re great!!
Faster than knitting, also easier to learn. I prefer to knit on a machine anyway. With crochet, a lot of the magic is in its flexibility of the stitches. How magical!
