The public library is also free and accessible via the Internet. And it has awesome librarians that I can reach out to if need be. Additionally, utilizing the library's resources can help demonstrate their demand and justify budget allocation.

yeah you should absolutely support your local library if you can, I'm just an introvert who doesn't like it

That's one of the awesome things, at least with my local library, which is about a 5-10min walk from where I live. Nearly every service that they offer is available online, if you have a card. The card is free and the only time that I've had to go in in-person was to verify my address.

While I was there the librarian even walked my through apps that are useful for managing digital loans, etc. Libby being the one most useful for ebook and audiobook loans.
