Just throwing it out there: most libraries do have one late night day a week, there are probably a million people on earth right at this moment that would love to play a tabletop game with you or take a zoom class, every single area has clubs/associations/charities that would love some new faces.
Don’t expect the universe to give you companionship. You need to do it yourself
You should check out some board game/card game shops around where you live.
Also, Cards Against Humanity is funny if you play it with your friends once every couple of months, I wouldn’t want to play it regularly, it gets old really fast.
Public libraries hold community events all the time, though…? At least the ones near me have conference rooms and such that can be booked. One reason why drag time story hour has been under attack lately. One of the many avenues to further ostracize us
Many libraries in Denmark do stay open to 9pm. They even have tables and invite people to hang out there. Although I må not sure if you’re allowed to drink or eat there they do want you to just hang out. They have boardgames that you can borrow or play there and they even have boardgames nights where you can play against other guests. Some libraries even have gaming computers and playstation 5 with sofas and all. It’s pretty cool! Some of them also let you borrow things like baking forms, instruments, and tools!
I’ve worked in a public library and we were fine with food as long the patrons cleaned up after themselves and it wasn’t something like a full pizza. We got salty when folks just left trash on the tables.
NL here. One of the libraries in my city has a café on the ground floor, as well as space for more noisy activity or higher traffic volume, like music practices or a polling station. While for calm you do need to go up the stairs, the function of the third place does exist in there.
Such a construction, as far as I can tell, is pretty uncommon among libraries in the country though, the cultural sector has been criminally underfunded and disrespected for quite a while. This was a happenstance thing where several local cultural organisations teamed up to make this happen.
It’s a group activity that everyone can enjoy! Get to really know your mail carrier, and learn how to get that 60% discount at the pizza parlor, all in an exciting and lively atmosphere!
Providing houses for the homeless? This smells like socialism and this America! The only people who get socialism are the rich and corporations. Everyone else can get fucked. /s
Yes! But not a door. When you pull the book, the entire shelf/floor spins around to take you to the hidden speakeasy. Ideally with a jazz piano player named Sam who greets you by name.
