Every Library in America Is Your Office
No laptop? No problem! Your closest library can help you get your work done on the road with free wifi and computer access.
Free wifi, computers, printers, meeting rooms, and even laptop rentals can help you get the job done wherever your travels take you.
If you’re looking to travel for work, there are several logistical challenges you need to figure out for things to go smoothly. After all, you can’t exactly get work done from anywhere; you need an on-the-go office where you can sit and focus. Most people don’t realize that the public libraries scattered around the country make for the perfect temporary office space. All they have to do is use them!
Free Access to a Work Setup
If you don’t own a laptop, traveling for work presents a bit more of a challenge, as you’ll have to figure out how to get a device to work from. Fortunately, just about every library nowadays gives its patrons free access to internet-connected computers. Library regulars use these computers for anything from school projects to job applications, but in a pinch, you could also use them for work without too much trouble.

Quiet Office Space
In addition to providing a work setup, public libraries also give you access to a quiet space where you can focus. Although libraries aren’t the dead-silent spaces that many people think they are, there are still plenty of quiet areas where you can set up camp and get some work done.
Having access to a quiet workspace is quite possibly one of the most important elements of a productive environment, so the public library’s work areas are by far one of your most valuable assets while working away from home.

Resources to Help You Enjoy Your Time Away From Home
Whether traveling for work or pleasure, there’s no fun in being away from home without a solid travel plan. When you’re not working, there’s sure to be plenty to do no matter where you are, so do some research and figure out some fun activities!
Libraries are, of course, one of the best places to learn about the area around you, interesting sights to see, and unique things to do. Just take a look through the library’s catalog or strike up a conversation with one of the librarians, and you’ll come away with a solid list of things to do during your time off. This will allow you to make the most of your time away from home.
