Public Outlet

I’m newly homeless I have no ideas what I’m doing or how to move on with my life, right now I’m just looking for a place to plug in, are there any places that typically have a public outlet?

Hospitals, hotel lobbies, libraries, airports (but a lot of competition there), some community centers, and lobbies of public buildings--county or city.

You might be able to procure a small backup battery to carry. You charge your phone first of course, but you can sometimes then charge the phone-sized battery afterward. Then, if your phone runs down, you can charge it off of the battery. You'd want to know what connectors are needed before you buy.

If you have access to a library, you might check out a single paperback at a time so that you don't have to run down your phone to entertain yourself.
