Travel tip: if you're abroad and need some quiet time, go to a public library!

On a recent trip I was overwhelmed with traveling stress, noise, people, traffic around me; then remembered how nice the libraries at home were. And they were the same in this foreign city! Quiet; welcoming; people working silently; comfy seats; free wifi.
It was a great way to calm down and recharge. Thank you, librarians (and tax payers), for maintaining these places all over the world.

I just watched this powerful PBS documentary about libraries--mainly the history of public libraries in the U. S. up to the present. It's no wonder fascists want to defund libraries & PBS.

It's the full 1 hr & 24 minutes documentary on YouTube:
