Just a love letter to my local library. ❤️

My library has been holding all sorts of events for kids through the summer. It’s one of my favorite things. My kid and I have gotten so much enjoyment out of the library. I’ve never felt the need to buy new books or movies when I could borrow them first. My kid gets free lunch after weekly storytime. It’s the best.

I love seeing other kids have fun there too. Having a third place and being part of a local community has helped so much in curbing my past shopping problem. I didn’t need material things to fill the void. What I really needed was human connection and more time for friends.

    I love my library as well! Libraries are one of the last public places that you can be in and simply be in without having to buy something. For me, the library is a place of knowledge, learning, and refuge. 📗
