Are you a library person?

We all need a place to sit and study. Some of us need not just a place, but to see other people studying as well.

In the post pandemic world, do you think libraries / reading room is something you will look for ? If you have moved out of Delhi / Metro towns, would you appreciate a library / reading room near you?

I was a library person. Then came COVID. Now I'm a study at home person.

Few hours in reading rooms/libraries are more important to people like me who are preparing from their homes.

I feel like I am weirdly & excessively invested in the outcome of this poll. When the 'study from home' dropped to below 50, I felt like my team had lost. 

If my team(The Library Loafers) loses, I will make some burner accounts and tilt the vote! :P

Cannot let The Home Hounds win!
