Library Geek

I love the local library.

Our kids get a constant rotation of books read to them before bedtime -- Junie B. Jones is the current rage. My wife has a constant stream of books for the articles she is researching. And now I've found a great, quiet place to do my 1-person startup work.

Our local King County Library system is amazing. Lots of branches. Free wifi. Heck, free printing (75 pages a week). An embarassment of riches for someone trying to get away and read or write (whether it be words or, in my case, code). I'm currently sitting in the downtown Bellevue branch, and it's just a gorgeous place to work. High ceilings, wood, glass, and quiet.

So please don't tell anyone -- we wouldn't want all these open tables to start filling up -- but check out (and support) your local library. It's for geeks, too.

Yes, King County does it right. In fact, I think they have free wifi at all their offices (I know it's also at all courthouses anyway). Course they need to provision a bit more bandwidth.
