As convenient and amazing borrowing e-books is, it’s important to remember that it costs your library more because they have to renew a license on it regularly. As opposed to physical books that they buy once
Comment on YSK if you have a library card or are a student, there's a free streaming service called Kanopy

There’s also a similar service for renting books through your e-reader called Libby. On kobo their Overdrive service uses Libby for the same end result - renting books from your local library on your digital reader. And it’s free!

And if they are borrowed, that means the library is working and will get more funding!!! Many places want to delete libraries “because they are useless” :(

However it probably shows that people are using it and will continue to get funding

My friend Anna also told me about her archive over dinner the other night; I haven’t looked into it but it sounds promising.

I love Libby! I listen to audiobooks with it all the time.
