    My local library offers audiobooks through an app that ive been using a bunch and the city library has 3d printers that im going to try use instead of getting my own(for now, I’ll see how much I use it). Go explore your libraries. Theres more to them than books.

      Be careful with the use of library apps. The Coming Enshittification of Public Libraries goes over some of the problems.

      What I would like to see is a way to manage the borrowing of digital media in a “choose your own player” model. Even if that would mean having to pay for a compatible player.

      For now, I stick with the libraries’ own search engines and recommendation systems and do as much borrowing via physical copy as possible.
