You don’t even have to restrict yourself to your town’s library, most will let you just walk in and sign up for a card. I go to a Makerspace in a different city because my local library doesn’t have one, and use digital resources for a library in a different city.

    There was a fee I had to pay to sign up for a library card the next town over. $15 for the year which I was happy to pay: a 3d printer, video game library, seed library, library of things with telescopes, musical instruments, cookware, and a ton of community events.

    Libraries kick ass.

    I've got a library card for Wales and I've never even visited the country (sadly, yet). It's fantastic
