Well, if you like the smell and don’t like the expense, there’s always the Publik Libary.
The closest one smells like unwashed bodies.
I get up to five free books a day for either my Nook or my Kindle. And there is a small library here that you can borrow books and bring them back when you’re done, or exchange them for something you have. It works pretty well. I have a bag of books to take there, soon, and I may or may not pick up a couple more.
I have to keep my move in mind, so I don’t want to bring home more than I take. ;o]
We were at our very nice public library this morning. Also our very nice Wells Fargo bank, where I had to go in because the ATM wasn’t accepting deposits. (I didn’t say they were competent: just nice.)
I checked out “The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End” by Robert Gerwarth. I have been wanting to read this book for several years, but it wasn’t published until 2016.
