I wrote about this in passing couple of days ago, but it's worth stressing over again, so Imma write in detail here. I got the membership because I'd been reading a lot less and buying books a bit specially because I want to support the Elliott Bay Book Company etc, they're good people also publishers and a store, and this awful pandemic hasn't been good for anybody. Still libraries are good because you can request journal papers, and other resources from anywhere in the world. Most importantly though I'm interested in putting to use the laser cutters they have at the West branch of the library system, that'll allow me to put into execution my decoration plans for this apartment, they were aborted prematurely because A had to live for Nepal for not very good reasons.
Haven't borrowed anything yet despite it having been a few weeks by now. Online I could look up but I want the books in person, and the guilt of not having written here, or gone for good walks has been stopping from me doing anything specially productive. After this thing is over, and parents are here, I'm going to be doing that a lot more I imagine because I don't want to be distracting myself on the phone, the vast imaginary worlds of the novels and fiction books will be my places for refuge and distraction during times I don't feel at home in this apartment anymore. Not that I don't enjoy being with family, but one most always seek to diversify one's groups.
