Sometimes you need a break from life’s main missions, so we have side quests! I’ve assigned myself some bookish side quests to accomplish by the end of this year.
Near the end of last year, I finally got around to getting myself a local library card. One of my friends is a massive proponent of libraries, and, though not her intention, her advocacy of them made me feel a bit ashamed that I have had a library card in… um… hmm… decades?
Having secured a card, I promptly set up a Libby account and was suitably impressed by how easy digital borrowing is. I don’t read physical books; I’m an eBook devotee.
The downside to libraries — versus buying books or subscription services like Kindle Unlimited — is book availability. You could wait for weeks or even months for a copy to be available. So, I started looking for ways to improve my access.
