My local library gives me access to newspapers and magazines delivered to my devices electronically every morning; movie streaming services; audiobook accessibe on my phone and - my favourite - they even have equipment loan, so if you want to borrow a hedge strimmer, rice cooker, embroidery machine, car jack, wallpaper steamer, etc, you can. That’s to say nothing of the services I don’t use, like arts classes, training courses, yoga sessions, etc. People pay hundreds every month for services freely available at the library.
