LIBRARIES – 8 things for the older (and other) traveller

Every town has a library. When you travel, a library can be your best friend. You can find:

1. Information about the town you are in.
2. Wi-Fi
3. A bookstore that will sell books that the library no longer wants or which have been donated for as little as $1 for hardback and 25 cents for paperbacks, many of them recent best-sellers.
4. Frequently they have cafes where you can get a coffee and food.
5. They have computers that you can use.
6. They have interesting programs and sometime trips for anyone who is interested.
7. Local and national magazines; see what is going on in town and read the NY  Times and the Wall Street Journal.
8. And, finally there is a huge magazine rack with the latest magazines; most of which you don’t get, and which take you out of your comfort zone.
