It’s the advertising that makes this magazine possible, and free! The Library By Susan Iedema, London from Daytripping Spring 2022 issue When the weather is such that spending more time inside is desirable, I am always on the lookout for new ideas for indoor activities. And, as I have done in the past for other situations, I am sure I will utilize the resources available to me at my local library. I recall my mom and me walking to the library in the small town where I grew up and that is where I was introduced to the mystery novels of Phyllis A. Whitney. Romance was always woven into her stories and vivid descriptions were given of the locales around the world where they took place. My love of her books led me to purchase some of her novels and a few have survived numerous downsizing episodes to grace a place in my bookcase. Over time, the memory of the story fades and I am able to reread and experience the mystery anew. Books can take me to faraway places, away from my troubles and cares. Years ago, a decision to apply for a different job had me visiting my local library branch in search of the latest book on how to write a resume and covering letter. As a result, I got the job! When the internet and online job postings took hold, I once again headed to the library. This time, I took advantage of the computers and other resources available for job hunting. As I became interested in leading a simpler life, I would peruse the library shelves and catalogues looking for books on the subject. A course about slowing down and getting away from consumerism was also offered at the downtown central branch and I signed up. This course introduced me to likeminded people who provided me with more direction and guidance as well as a list of additional books that would assist me in my quest. I would try to find these books at the library first. If I felt one was something I should have at home for a reference, I could always purchase it later. Libraries and all they have to offer are a perfect fit with a simpler life. It’s a place where communities can share resources and information. Being that they are located in the community, many times I have been able to walk, cycle or take public transit to my nearest branch or visit one on my lunch hour when at work. Or, if travelling by car, I could time my visit with other errands. Some other items and services I have made use of over the years at the library are, a writing workshop, a photocopier, the community events bulletin board, walking and cycling maps as well as magazines and newspapers. I even found that wonderful paper there, Daytripping in Southwestern Ontario! These days, before heading to the library, I can search online from home for books or resources I am interested in. My choice to do without cable TV has led me to find numerous DVD’s available there, especially the murder mysteries I like. I am glad I have a library card and am grateful for my local public library and all it has to offer. I foresee a season of indoor activities filled with mystery! Publisher’s note: Your library card will give you access to Ontario Provincial Parks and many other perks as well. Welcome to ... THE Club Owen R.
