libraries in general… feel like the last public service standing 😭 free classes, free books, free rooftop garden, free makers lab, free big windows with free views !?

public Libraries

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!!

they’re constantly at risk of being defunded (particularly now in nyc), but they’re one of the last free third spaces left that’s accessible no matter the season (of life or the year). learn something and meet someone new (get to know your local librarian). public parks are also wonderful in the spring and summer, and always check if there’s any free museums near you

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

I simply love the library. I just moved to a new city and I’m looking for work and I can plop myself down in the library, go on my laptop and look for jobs, leaf thru some books, the membership gets me free tix to cultural institutions and free streaming, in my branch there is even a cute patio with comfy chairs to work outside! A blessing and one public thing US cities do really well
