Like, for anything.

I use my local library digital catalog nearly every day.

Before having kids I never went to the library. Just bought whatever books I was interested in, or downloaded pirated ebooks if money was an issue.

But now we visit the library on a weekly basis for the kids. We get a new stack of books every week on the ever-changing subjects the kids are interested in. This week it was snakes, last week it was ninjas. Next week who knows?

And for the stuff they really like and keep going back to, that's the ones we buy our own copies of.
