If you don’t like leaving the house…you should visit your local library
Good advice!
(Sorry, your tips and suggestions ARE all good, just had to appease my joke Tourette’s 😁)
Comment on YSK if you have a library card or are a student, there's a free streaming service called Kanopy

Other fun library facts:
- If you don’t like leaving the house, lots of libraries let you sign up for a card online
- In addition to books, they usually have ebooks and audiobooks online, as well as DVDs and CDs at your local branch
- You should visit your local library and see if they have other things…some have video games, or kitchen/cooking equipment, there are often classes or presentations, all free

Is there a list of Libraries I can register online with if I don’t necessarily live near them? Would like to expand my reach in libby.

Yeah seriously check what else your library has to offer. My library loaned me a brand new pair of Black Diamond trekking poles and I liked them so much that I bought by own pair.

A note about the DVD and CD collections at your local library:
Rip them. While it is perfectly legal to rip media, you have taken from the library or that you have purchased, there is one technical snag: bypassing the DVD encryption is technically a civil offense. But there’s also no way for anyone to ever prove that you did that unless you create a video of you doing it and send it into the FBI.
So make sure to use that library card to its fullest potential!

Got a lot of mileage out of this in high school when mp3 players had just kicked off.

If bypassing encryption is illegal just download it and cut out the middle man.
