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.
