Yesterday I had a couple of child free hours in the afternoon, so I took myself to @glenpublib second floor terrace with Whistler by Ann Patchett for some peaceful time reading in the sunshine and the cool fall breeze. It was heavenly! 🍁🍂🍃

Public libraries are simply one of the best resources our tax dollars go to! 😍

I truly believe that everything we need is already out there and shopping secondhand for things is a beautiful art.

We want to be able to read more and the ways to do that can be like treasure hunting when you’re out in the world.

I used to be more of a kindle reader for the convenience but after having a kid holding an actual book worked better in front of her.

Now I grab books I’ve loved secondhand and give them as gifts, let people borrow and also have a trophy of it on occasion :)

These are all the ways I find books for less.

- Estate Sales @estatesalesnet
- Thrift Shops
- Little Free Libraries @littlefreelibrary
- Online shops like @pangobooks (not sponsored obvi but would totes work with them someday)
- library sales sections
- local book shops with discounted sections or gently used (@passages.wine.books @partnersincrimebookshop @plottwist_usedbooks
- Facebook groups—- do not sleep on these, moms know how much they rely on their local communities and books are no different! People will exchange, ship and sell their books to you so fast!

Getting more books into more hands is just the coolest.
