My local library offers audiobooks through an app that ive been using a bunch and the city library has 3d printers that im going to try use instead of getting my own(for now, I'll see how much I use it). Go explore your libraries. Theres more to them than books.

Every day is Christmas at the library and a good librarian is a combination of Santa Claus and Sherlock Holmes.

Be careful with the use of library apps. The Coming Enshittification of Public Libraries goes over some of the problems.

What I would like to see is a way to manage the borrowing of digital media in a "choose your own player" model. Even if that would mean having to pay for a compatible player.

For now, I stick with the libraries' own search engines and recommendation systems and do as much borrowing via physical copy as possible.
