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?

I try to be as involved with the world as I can, but oddly my experiences mostly involve the opposite. For example, I once asked if, hypothetically, I could volunteer at the library, and they said that, supposing this was someone's mindset, they don't accept volunteers, only paid workers. Not that they are unique, even after moving to a new community. Made a recent "collab" all the more genuine ("just do stuff, don't wait for an invitation" as what many would say).
