In #Canada, if you go to a #library and even without a permanent address, the library will help you borrow and read books.

If you don’t have the preferred type of ID, they’ll accept alternates, including proof of like a shelter card, or social services letter or showing up in person.

#PEI village #Victoria-by-the-Sea is named by #Forbes as one of 50 most beautiful villages in the world.
With a population of 200, this seaside village known for its pastel buildings, live seafood catches from local fishers, and direct ocean views, has won its place as #23 of 50. #peipoli #canada
Model is @minhly-model.bsky.social. The link didn't work because of an editing error in the original post.
The mirror dress is one of my most popular creations, and Minh Ly ([email protected]) was in the studio recently to model it as part of a series I am working featuring this outfit.
