Each and every day we are graced with a few things that are just plain awesome. I’m well aware that I overuse the word, but public libraries really do embody the word. This blog is in no way, shape, or form designed to disgrace or discredit the public library, but to bring awareness to that awesomeness it beholds.
Just in case you were doubting the fact that public libraries are awesome, I made a list to further persuade you:
A) They are free for daily use! What is free anymore? Air? Water? Depending on where you are reading this from, water isn’t even a resource… it’s a luxury. Put your cash away. Leave those credit cards at home… the only card you need is a library card!
B) They welcome you inside; let you use their free air, free water, free chairs, free books, and free computers. They are your bfflwn- best friend forever that lends you whatever you need. These are few and far between.
C) Everyone is invited! There is no application process, you are just you. They don’t look at me funny for wearing my caution-light-yellow rain boots with whales on them or even question the middle age man that sits across from me and often Googles women’s accessories.
D) They are there to help… and you don’t have to tip! Often helpful people are a perfect fit for service positions, but in the library they will help you find a book or print a document and just smile. How lovely!
E) Books! Whatever you are feeling like that particular day, you can walk down an aisle and experience. Feeling crafty? Head to DYI books! Feeling a little down? Perhaps Dr. Suess? Comics? If that doesn’t work, there are rows and rows of self help adventures. Not that I’ve ever been down that isle while being unemployed and eating discounted Valentines candy….
If I still haven’t managed to convince you, I urge you to read on. I promise to report the many experiences and triumphs I experience as often as I can!
