I am delighted by the recent influx of posts encouraging people to get books from local libraries (it’s free!). I want to lay out more good things to do in your local library, especially since I’ve been volunteering at mine lately.
Ok first of all, you can genuinely get any book free to read. If the library doesn’t have it, you can order it in. And you can get more than books! Borrow dvds from your local library as well.
You can also get audiobooks from your local library, and again you can order them in.
Certainly where I am, you can get big print, dyslexia friendly, etc editions of books
So, yeah, get things from the library. But also! Sit in the library. Take some time to browse. If you’ve got a free hour, sit in the library reading. Study in the library. Use the space. There are seats and tables for a reason.
