Over these last couple of days in May, I plan to post some tips for reading in locations other than the comfort of your home. Some of these locations may be related to your home somehow, or close by, but hopefully these will help you out with reading in these locations.
For many of these reading locations, you can use any book format. However, I will note if there is a better book format to use in a specific location in that specific post.
Today's post will focus on 4 tips for reading at a cafe.
Tip 1: Have headphones, earphones, or ear plugs.
This is another situation, like with yesterday's post, where you may want headphones, earphones, or ear plugs to block out extra noise as you read. There'll be more people closer to you (except now not too close, because of Covid), so if you get distracted easily by people talking or walking by, it might be best to have something to block out excess noise.
Tip 2: While any book format can work at a cafe, ebooks or audiobooks might be best in this situation.
If you get a drink or snack (or both) from the cafe, then you may not want to risk spilling anything on your physical book. But again, any format can work at a cafe.
Tip 3: Get a table by a window, or try to find a comfy chair.
If you plan on staying at the cafe for a little while as you read, you may want to get a window seat or a comfy chair (if the cafe has "comfy" chairs). This way, you can make yourself a little more comfortable as you read.
Tip 4: Wipe off the table before setting your book down.
Goodness knows what was on the table before you sat down at it. Before setting your book on the table, dust it off a little bit, and maybe even wipe it down. That way, the table is as clean as it can be before you set your book down on it.
