Have you been to your local library lately? I was spurred to sign up from a post I saw on here, and it’s actually surprising how good the quality of content is. Plus I save a ton of money on purchasing books AND support the community. Definitely check it out if you haven’t!

For anyone unfamiliar with borrowing ebooks and audiobooks from U.S. libraries which use Libby (aka Overdrive) this is a wonderful blog post explaining how to get started. It's even easier than it looks and has saved me hundreds of dollars at this point - I highly recommend it!

Indeed I do use my local library. I mostly borrow eBooks, and sometimes physical books and rarely DVDs. I also use my library to escape my home office for a different place to put my head down and work.
