I mean ya, but not the book I wanted to read specifically.
FYI: your local library probably has a subscription to eBook software. And if you use that, do utilize it! Libraries often get more funding the more customers and utilization they have. And you can usually request certain books for your library to buy. That's really helpful for the librarians to figure out what their patrons want. Otherwise they often have to guess or just use national popular lists which might not fit as well.
But yeah, also buy books your library doesn't have.
My local library saved my butt last week for a uni class I'm in, and I plan to follow up by buying the book now that I've read part of it and like it so much! "Happiness is a Choice You Make" by John Leland if anyone's curious:) I was skeptical of the title but he's building an excellent argument for it regarding aging
lol ...what? People buy books to have it accessible right at home and not have to drive to a library.
Porn is accessible anywhere.
What do you mean? I'd check the library website and it simply doesn't have the book I want. It doesn't matter even if I don't mind going there.
It will get to the library, sooner or later... so, from my POV there is no point in buying it. I'm a patient man, I can wait 🤷.
You can also go to anywhere on foot, sooner or later. Why do you pay for transport?
Almost 0. I walk to work and back. I live about 5km away from where I work, that's like a 30 minute walk (I used to ride my bike, but I need to fix it 😁). I rarely drive my car, weekends only or when I need to take the kid somewhere.
