  Yeah I get the kanopy streaming service through my local library. It’s awesome.

    I don’t know why more people don’t know about these. For anyone reading, look up the apps Kanopy and Libby.

      Streaming movies are not even close to things libraries can offer. My wife is working on opening a new branch in another part of town where there are a lot of poor and homeless people. There will be a room with a sign-up sheet. One person at a time and a lockable door from the inside. It contains a shower, a washer and a dryer. Anyone can sign up for free.

    My wife listens to audiobooks almost every day and she gets all of them through the library. She hasn’t paid for an audiobook in years.
