Rec | PUBLIC LIBRARIES

⭐

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.

GET A LIBRARY CARD

I feel like this is a constant rec on here but it really is such a game changer! First, it’s free. Like, honestly how awesome is it that we can just have access to such a vast amount of great literature, music, movies, articles & newspapers and even free Internet whenever we need it! Don’t spend money where you don’t need to, get a library card and go crazy. There’s also some really great free online services provided via your library card like Kanopy (for movies) and Libby (for books).

Utilizing your local library

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.
