    Library card costs me nothing. My tax dollars pay for the local library.

    It has inter-library loan with lots of places.

    Local colleges/universities will also let you (at a minimum) use books and tools at the library, and usually give you a card too.

    My media collection is mostly gathered from my local library.

    The there’s things like Kanopy that you mentioned. There’s a few other similar systems.

      My tax dollars fund my local library, as well. But I still had to pay a small fee for the card, as I recall. It’s been years though, so that policy may have changed.
