I 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.

besides free books (physical, digital, audio) the amount of stuff u have access to is wild.
iโm 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! Itโs 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 donโt see offered but want to? Ask! Or even better, offer!! Start your own thing, get to know your community members.
Utilize your third spaces, theyโre great!!

It's FREE and depending on your local library system, having a library card also comes with:
- Hoopla: Lets you stream movies and check them out FOR FREE
- Libby: E-book collections so you can read books/magazines/etc for FREE
- Equipment rentals: Some libraries in my hometown have game consoles/musical instruments/etc that patrons can check out
And a bunch of cool stuff
The more active patrons there are, the more likely they'll keep their funding! Basically, support your local library! Get a card! Use the services!

I wanted to say after feeling lots of shame about being a chronic lister seeing other people enjoy and creatively make lists has reassured me there is nothing abnormal about my habit ๐

I love listening to music that seems to marry together your mind and body. It somehow translates often indescribable aspects and experiences of your life into something you can fully understand.
Atlantis by LTJ Bukem is one of the songs that do it for me.

So glad to be out of the grey and gloom and have the sun shining on my face. Feeling the cool air against my skin while the sky is bright makes me so happy. Finally, I know, winter will be coming to an end.
