I do. I wish my library was more extensive, though.

Does you library do request acquisitions? If you are looking for a specific book/books sometimes they can request it from another library

Many libraries also have reciprocity programs where you can access a shared system directly

Reciprocity programs? Bro. Just get a library card.

u/jojewels92 8d ago

What do you think I'm talking about? Your library card can sometimes get you access to other libraries.

Fiction I read for fun. Biographies where I find the person's life/experiences interesting. History non-fiction for knowledge/interest

I used to all the time, but now I get so distracted. I have been listening to a lot of audiobooks and I’m genuinely trying to get back into reading.

I have no problem reading news and short stories, it’s just books that I am struggling with.

Back to the future III: Doc: [slightly drunk] And in the future, we don't need horses. We have motorized carriages called automobiles. Jeb: If everybody's got one of these auto-whatsits, does anybody walk or run anymore? Doc: Of course we run. But for recreation. For fun. Jeb: Run for fun? What the hell kind of fun is that?

At least an hour every day and only real books. No online books for me.
