Reply to comment by Thcrtgrphr in renting or buying: which do you prefer and why? by Cartographer_Waste

Not trying to be oppositional, but how does it contribute to a stronger community by checking out a book instead of buying? I contribute to my library, and I check out books or authors I'm unsure of, but I buy most of my books. I dont move often, I get that point. I just don't understand how checking out a book improves community.

supporting your local library and actively participating can mean that they get more tax money allocated to their branch! which in turn means more/better amenities :)

that’s it! helps offer and boost programs for you and your neighbours as well (author lectures, ‘maker spaces’, etc etc).
