🥰🥰 public libraries are the best.

I spent … a lot of my time growing up at the public library I could walk to, and it’s great living somewhere that has a public library that’s so much a part of the community.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
