but it be if the ways you “learn to deal with it” is realizing when things are a bit too much and allowing yourself to take a break

I let my son take a mental health day once in a while if he is just too overwhelmed with school and activities and having to catch the bus at 6:15am

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! 🎉

one of my favorite “thing libraries” was a fishing pole library up in Maine!

I’m also a big supporter (and admin) of my local Buy Nothing gifting economy group where we give, ask, and express gratitude. We will be setting up little lending libraries within our group to lend stuff, like a tool library or kitchen equipment etc.

I was just thinking about how great libraries are the other day when I walked out with a huge pile of books - for free! I also love listening to audiobooks in the car — for free! And my son and husband just took a workshop on using a laser cutter - pretty neat…
The Hunterdon County library system is really doing great things, and they recent joined up with the Morris County system so now even more resources are available.

came here to say this - 22 is the worst! I learned to drive near there and was so pissed that my driving instructor got me on to Rt 22 a way I didn’t recognize and I actually had to drive on it as a newbie driver!!
