The services of your local library. Sign up and use them, and get your friends & family on too because the more regular users and the more people aware of their services, the harder they are for politicians to take away or slash the budget of.
Common services offered:
Kanopy, hoopla (free TV shows and movies, similar to Netflix)
Local/national newspapers digital versions
PressReader for various (usually subscription-only) magazines
ebooks and audiobooks via OverDrive/Libby, BorrowBox, hoopla, etc.
I tried this a few days ago, but Overdrive only had 2 ‘copies’ of the 30+ year old novel I wanted and the waitlist was 10 weeks so I added another “Fuck capitalism for…” to my list.
