"I don't need the library because I don't read much." WRONG!!!
Your local library may be able to offer you:
- 3D printers
- a place to hang out
- articles, magazines, newspapers
- arts and crafts
- cassette tapes
- CDs
- chargers
- coloring pages
- computers
- DVDs
- fax machines
- food
- help filing paperwork
- help finding resources, support groups, or community activities
- phones
- printers
- puzzles
- seeds to plant
- sewing machines
- temporary housing / shelter
- VHS tapes
I suggest using your local library. So go check it out!
A few months ago my phone's screen got broken. The closest repair shop was in another town more than an hour away and I'd never been to that shop before. I could look it up just fine on my laptop at home, sure. After arranging the repair via email I studied Google Maps and memorized a few landmarks and the position of the shop to help get me there.
Well wouldn't you know it, when I got to that town, the landmarks were different from what they'd been when Google took its photos, so I was up shit creek and got my dumb ass lost for a while because I only had my phone on me and obviously it was useless at the time--I couldn't even call them!
But I knew there was a sign on Main St for the local library, so I went there. They let me use a computer with an internet connection no questions asked (just a sign-in, I think, nbd) and I was able to look the place up and find it that way! And it was free! And they had a nice clean restroom which was a godsend after driving in circles all over town, lemme tell ya
Point being, you might think you don't need a library because you've always got your phone on you, but that is not a safe bet to take.
USE YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!!!!
