Toledo-Lucas County Public Library - Toledo Heights Branch | 
Not only do I use (and love) my local library, but I have cards at seven other libraries! And I subscribe to newsletters at a good two dozen more to keep abreast of live events.
Libraries have always been my safe space, and now that I'm self-employed and work from home libraries are also where I go to socialize with people besides my cats. Libraries are for sharing ideas, and finding new books, and losing yourself in the stacks.
GondorGirl Not to mention that libraries are also a free public space that people can go to get warm, be safe, use computers/internet, get help with resumes, do research on topics they might feel unsafe searching at home... libraries are a gift. 2y
BiblioLitten Libraries have always been my safe space too. Whenever I feel super low I find myself longing to be between those stacked shelves of books. Pre-Litsy I used to browse and pick books based on instinct. Post-Litsy I rely more on reviews. All good though 😊 2y
SaunteringVaguelyDownwards When I moved out of state for my husband's job while still finishing my dissertation, my public library was my lifeline - I could request books from the college libraries, and I booked the quiet study rooms so regularly the staff would let me know if no one had reserved them when I was there. 2y
DimeryRene Getting my masters degree in library sciences and can confirm they are great and offer many many special programs, safety, advice, media, and history to their communities. 🥰🥰 2y
Buchbeeg Yes me too! I actually grew up in Maumee! My mom worked at the Perrysburg library and I spent so many days and nights there while she worked. I'd beg to go with and help the children's librarian shelve books when I was lucky. Libraries are magic 💫 2y
