I’m unemployed, and my living situation doesn’t give me much space or peace to get any kind of work done. So I either want to find co-working space to rent, or coffee shops that don’t play music and will allow me to stay for hours. I don’t want to use the public libraries anymore. And I don’t want to insult them by explaining why, let’s just take “public libraries” off the table. Co-working spaces are probably what I’ll go for, but wow they’re expensive. I’m glad to hear some recommendations of co-working spaces that will let me sit and write (code and prose) whenever I want. Bonus points if they have a kettle so I can make tea. Please share your ideas and experiences!
@sentient_loom The view of the Experimental Farm, yesterday from 5th floor MacOdrum library. No one around. Beautiful. Silent.
Seconded - no one is going to bother you at MacOdrum unless you’re being disruptive. If you’re just chilling and quietly reading/writing you’ll be fine.
There’s some rooms you can only book as a student, but those are pretty obvious.
Edit: btw, if you want to check out a book for whatever reason, get a SmartLibrary card.
Edit edit: Some additional information about print services, and as a precursor to that Wifi access, as a guest here. Long story short, visit the ITS desk on the 4th floor if you want wifi access.
Oh that’s nice. And they’ll let the public sit there and read and write?
@sentient_loom No one asked me for ID.
However I was with one of my kids, who very much looks like a student. 🤷🏼♀️
Might be worth a try. Line 2 stops right on campus.
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
