Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

    I’m just old enough to clearly remember pre-internet life and library use, so the coolest thing my library has in my opinion is the huge catalogue of books available at my fingertips through their app. No physical item to worry about means no risk of late fees either, it just returns itself if I don’t before the rental is up.

    There are, like, household tools and stuff available as well as a good catalogue of movies on disc. I avail myself of those now and again, but I constantly have a book or two borrowed. That’ll always be my favorite thing my library has.

      I use my public library app for reading too. However I am surprised how limited the selection is. It seems like every book I look for is unavailable online as well as on paper. I guess that’s what life is like when you prefer non-fiction.

        Don’t know where in world you are; I’m USA but my state actually likes funding public libraries. Sorry to hear yours are lacking like that, man : /
