Los Angeles Public Library

Let’s put the performative reading trend to good use. The sexiest thing you can pull out at dinner other than a black card is a local library card.

Free audiobooks as far as the ear can hear, free printing for random projects. Once you step back into the brick and mortar houses of knowledge, the digital archives reveal themselves to be slightly goblin-like. Filled with viruses and paywalls. The library is a sanctuary. A true egalitarian altar of knowledge that could at the very least save you $16/month on an audible subscription.
