I was fully expecting you to say:

I actually feel a little let down as such.

This honestly was some serious inspo to visit my local library. I haven't beeen to a library in ages but it's right down the road so I really feel like I should.

some libraries aren’t embracing their future as a community activity center, but if you’re lucky, there are all sorts of great things available - the latest addition to my local library is a pottery kiln! I’m so excited! 🎉

Librarian here. You definitely should! I think you’d be pleasantly surprised how libraries have modernized in the last few decades. Most offer great online resources too at no extra cost, but you’ll need an active library card to access them.
