A couple of weeks ago I finally started my membership at the local library (@stbibkoeln) and now I wonder: Why didn´t I do that 12 years ago when I moved to Cologne?
I really love the priniciple of renting over buying – libraries feel like the perfect embodiment of that sharing economy. So it was about time.
Since I started my membership I already borrowed a variety of stuff:
- A Steeldrum
- A Korg Volca Synthesizer – which I totally love
- 5 Books – I am reading more regularly now because there is a return date
- 2 Movies – they have a online-media library that kinda looks like netflix
This feels like a membership that I want to keep for the rest of my life.
