Well, unfortunately in my country the Philippines, I only have one public library in my city, and it's woefully incomplete. My university library is better, but I'm not sure if everyone outside the school can use it. In terms of buying books... I'm only aware of one bookstore that doesn't just fill their bookshelves with Wattpad fiction, lol.
