When I was a teenager, I used to volunteer for the local library. It was a nice way to spend some time, discuss with the regulars about their latest readings, and feel useful to the local community.

What are your experiences?

Personally not that much apart from attending local gov meetings, kinda interesting to see what's going on in the area, as well as grants available for local organizations etc.

I also try to get down to my local makerspace at least once a week, the winter is making that a bit challenging though since it's a 40 min cycle in freezing temperatures. My cycle lights also need charging more frequently because of the cold... Can't wait for summer to come back

That's already nice! I should probably start doing this more too
