I like books.  I like the feel of a book in my hands.  I have a Kindle.  Unlike most people I know, I don’t use it. 

On the other hand, I am at the stage of life where I am against acquiring more things.  And that includes books.  Therefore, the local branch of my library is a regular stop for me.  It’s a small branch, but it has a big heart.  I request a book online and I am told whether I can get it within a day or two or how many people are waiting for it and how many copies it has access to. 

The other day I noticed that the library gives away composting bags, saving me a trip to the city's public works department.  And the library still offers free Covid masks.

What’s not to love?
