That's a great theme, thank you Brenda! Libraries have been absolute heroes during our lockdowns here in Melbourne, organising click and collects and delivering books to people who couldn't come to them, organising book bags on request based on people's borrowing history, etc. I am still chipping away at my 2 yearly challenges but should be able to do the Easy one and fit in 3 books.
