I simply love the library. I just moved to a new city and Iโm 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

๐I took out a library membership with my local council and itโs been great! I initially got it to borrow books, but the libraries host lots of free events and activities, and you can hang out in the comfy chairs or use the desks for as long as you want. It really makes you realise how little truly free spaces exist.

I already hate driving, so I love that it takes roughly the same amount of time to take the bus or light-rail directly to the library.
plus, the walk to and from my house to transit is technically exercise and makes my brain and heart happy!
there are donuts and coffee near the library, and an antique mall, and an indie movie theater, and a trader joe's, so like, endless activities and places to walk to.
& the library has plenty of space to sit and work, free wifi, clean bathrooms, and private study rooms. I can be introverted and quiet, but still be among my community and people watch in a safe environment.
and then the best bonus: free books! you mean to tell me that learning and pleasure and literature and poetry is all at my fingertips?? for absolutely free?? you kiddin me?????

๐I will get an idea to go somewhere, do something, reach out to someone, and flip flop for ages on whether or not to do it, weighing all pros and cons.. I try now to just decide yes if Iโm flip flopping and usually it goes great!

Recently in a situation that requires me to stand for long hours. This thing - $3.99 at world market - eliminated my foot pain. I am blown away by how good it feels
