That’s a great perk that you can save by printing at the library. I don’t know that it’s feasible for most, or really anyone not on a school campus or living next door to a library. To the rest of us, I recommend a used laser printer for 50 dollars. There’s probably still enough toner in it to print 500-1000 more pages of text.
I’d have to go into town to the library. It’s too far to walk, I’d have to drive, which would mean fuel and then parking fees.
Or I could take public transport, which would be two buses or a bus and a tram. The connections aren’t the best, so the journey into town takes at least an hour, then the same shit home.
Without outing your location, where generally do you reside? I ask as now I’m genuinely curious if a library is no further than a grocery store for most people. I can imagine that being the case in some metropolitan areas–but I wonder about the suburban, and especially rural areas, both of which hold a heck of a lot of people, if it’s true for them. Heck, there’s 4 grocery stores in a 4 mile radius around me but neither of the two closest libraries would fall in that radius.

I live in the equivalent of an American suburb.

All for a few printed pages.
My local grocery store is ten minutes on foot.

most people in developed countries live near a metropolitan center and very few live rurally.
