Lockdown, Libraries, and Pirates

 Lockdown and Libraries 

I have the feeling that we will soon be going into lockdown - and I totally understand why. But along with everything else, libraries will also be closed, which means for all of us who cannot afford to buy books, we are cut off from one of our reading sources. I just hope that the libraries will survive the pandemic as they not only bring books to people who cannot necessarily afford them, but they are also a great excuse to get out of the house, especially when you are older.


I am lucky in the sense that I have a daughter who knows where I can access books for free - and no, I am not talking about pirate sites, but places such as NetGalley and Bookbub. In fact, I don't understand why anyone goes to pirate sites when there are so many books out there that you can download onto your Kindle or your computer legitimately.


If you, like me, rely on your library then check out the sites above, and remember this will end and one day we will soon be back to normal and the libraries will once again be open.
