cold take that I'll be preaching till the day I die but libraries are glorious. buying books is cool but if I'm not trying to own something forever it's so OP to be able to just get it for free when I feel like it. so many movies that aren't on streaming services too, and yet people act like I've blown their mind when I mention the library. why are more people not on this? I literally have three library cards for different cities.

Truly underrated. I worked at a library for a couple years after college and it was maybe the best working experience I’ve ever had. Community, baby!
There’s so much on offer besides books too. Movies, music, video games, audiobooks, local history, free internet, printers, smells (good and bad). A library card is like a black Amex for people with personalities.

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?????
