DOWNTIME YOU DESERVE

WD’s picks for the best in new books, movies, and more.


Love Your


Library


Your local branch has lots of


resources to offer beyond


books. WD is working with the


American Library Association


to highlight amazing programs


and inspire your next visit.


What makes your library special?
Post a pic to Instagram and

tag @womansdaymag,


@americanlibraryassociation,
and #WDbookclub for a chance

to be featured on our feeds.


KEEP LEARNING


Get Home-


Improvement Help


The next time you’re ready


to tackle a DIY project, stop


at the library before hitting


your local hardware store.


Some locations, like the


Arlington Public Library in


Virginia and Olathe Public


Library in Kansas, provide


tool-rental services so you


can borrow instead of buy.


Libraries like the Oakland


Public Library in California


even offer workshops on


DIY skills, including basic


tiling and plumbing repairs,


and many keep zoning and


building code manuals on


hand. Prefer to hire a pro?


Library staffers may be able


to help connect you with


reputable local contractors.
