I got a library card and I am so proud of myself ☺️

I got a library card yesterday! Not only is it important to get a library card to boost the numbers (since they are services we pay for with taxes), but I also have really wanted a library card to print stuff!

I got this sh!tty HP office jet printer that doesn’t print properly :’D. I had previously been going to FedEx office ship and print center, and although it is cheaper, I’ve had negative experiences with FedEx in the past, including transphobic experiences. I had a great experience at my local library! It is inbetween a lot of places, including my home and a pool, and my home and a grocery store. I am lowkey thinking of working there one day!

I needed to go to the library to print out the forms I need to fill out to get a drivers license. I’m happy I’m moving forward with stuff! Definitely, DEFINITELY get a library card. If you need access to a printer, libraries have them! Sometimes it is free to print, and other times it is just a small fee! #library #librarycard

I also got a brochure with these apps: Libby, kanopy, hoopla, and boundless digital books. I think those are great resources to be able to read books! #libby #libbyapp #hoopla #hooplaapp Ok so it looks you can only add 5 hashtags here? 🤔 And there is no dark mode? 🤔🤔. This may not be the best tiktok replacement for me 🫠

Getting a library card opens up a world of resources and advantages that many people overlook. Libraries offer free or low-cost printing services, which can save you money compared to commercial printing options like FedEx. Additionally, libraries provide access to digital resources such as ebooks, audiobooks, and streaming services through apps like Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy. These platforms allow you to explore a vast collection of content at no cost, making it an ideal alternative to paid services. Furthermore, many libraries host community events, workshops, and educational programs, creating an enriching experience beyond just borrowing books. If you're considering a library card, remember that these cards not only give you access to printed materials but also to invaluable digital resources and community programs. It's never too late to take advantage of everything your local library has to offer!
