#53: Love Your Local Library

Local libraries are truly the best. Not only do they have free books, but they also provide a ton of other community services that most people don’t know about. Plus, libraries are not stuck in the past. They have kept up with the modern age and made their digital collection available to patrons who’d rather stay home. 

You no longer have to go into a library to check out a book. Most county libraries have their digital collection of audiobooks and ebooks available via Overdrive and Libby (if you’re in the US). You now have access to thousands of titles on your phone. Plus, the library often offers cool things like free online courses and discounted museum tickets. We said it once and’ll say it again: libraries are the best!
