100 Days of Falling in Love with Boston | Day 2

As I embark on my journey to explore the vibrant city of Boston, I can’t help but marvel at the wealth of public resources available in the United States, particularly the library system. These libraries are not just repositories of books; they are treasure troves available for free to everyone! 🏛️ From physical books and e-books to audiobooks, children’s toys, startup guidance, interest classes, public lectures, and discounted event tickets, I believe libraries deserve a much more fitting name than just “libraries.” They truly are treasure chests!
