I write about reading books all the time, but I just read a really great one today. As I reflected on how reading a good book makes me feel, I realized how fortunate I am to have my need to read met easily through a public library. Growing up I did not always have access to books the way I do now, so my library card is actually a prized possession!
Most people would consider it a want, not a need
But when a book ends up being a satisfying read
I feel an endorphin rush, my mood is elevated
A deep seated craving within my soul is satiated
A good book fulfills a need that I rarely realize exists
I want to read good books but the extent to which my spirits they can lift
I only realize when I finish reading a well-written one
A book that appeals to both my intellect and my emotions..

Life in these unpredictable times tends to be stressful indeed
I gravitate towards books when stress-busters I need
A good book fits right into that spot
Therefore a mere want it is not
I am grateful that my need is simple and I have access
To unlimited books- my library card is the best thing I possess
Passion...unbridled 
Do you have free Little Libraries nearby? Anywhere we go and I see one, I stop to see the offerings. It is so great to see different towns/different tastes in reading. I keep some books in the car so I can ‘trade’ as it were. Cheap reads.

No, but I totally use the public library in my area. I get as many new books as I fancy.
