Hi all, I’m new to this community, and loving it already. Does anyone here use a co-working space or private library as a freelancer that is affordable?

Well what do you consider "affordable" and what kind of solution are you looking for? Just a hot desk in an open space, a dedicated desk, a private office?

@Mariya Delano I have lofty hopes that I could find something around $100/mo for a hot desk in an open space-type situation.

Hot desks are closer to $200 a month from what I've seen. I've just started with WeWork’s All Access membership and there's a discount for the first 3 months but it's still over $100.
You could try doing day access passes as you need them instead? They are not 24/7 unlike monthly memberships but at least you get a taste of a few places
You can also try Croissant coworking their membership lets you pop in and out of coworking places around the city as you wish

Thanks so much for all the info, @Mariya Delano!

If you want to explore some coworking spaces together (esp in the wework network but I am still happy to find new spots) let me know!

I kinda move around constantly that’s why I liked wework’s option to just access any of their locations
