The library has been my happy place in 2021. I’ve been reading about a book a week for most of the year, so I make a lot of trips to the library! I feel the same high when I check out books as when I indulge in retail therapy – reading has definitely been my wallet-friendly alternative during Covid.

Anyways, I moved in with my significant other last month which meant moving to a new neighborhood and giving up my local library branch that I love dearly. I’ve taken the last few weeks to settle in and finish some of the books I already had checked out, but I was definitely feeling a little down without my weekly trips to the library. I went to my new library branch today and loved it! They had even more shelves of books and I was able to find so many books that had massive waitlists at my other branch. Needless to say I’m very happy and will be resuming my weekly trips after the holidays!
