Why YSK: Because in this economy, “free” is the best four-letter word. Seriously, it’s wild how many people don’t realize their public library card gives them access to a treasure trove of digital content. We’re talking apps like Libby, Kanopy, and Hoopla, which means free movies, documentaries, e-books, and audiobooks. You just need that little piece of plastic (or the digital equivalent). Think of all those subscription fees you could avoid. It’s basically a life hack for entertainment and knowledge. Plus, you get to feel good about using a public resource. So yeah, before you drop another ten bucks on a service, check if your local library already has you covered. It’s like finding money in an old coat, but instead, it’s endless entertainment.
