A friend of mine shared this receipt from her local library which shows how much money she's saved by using it.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

$6996.99 per year is $134.56 per week. If you get 5 books per week, that's $26.91 per book. Given the picture includes a single book costing $19.95, that feels very reasonable. Maybe it's 6 books a week, maybe some books are more expensive.
That's a very consistent habit though.
I go to the library every week with my kids. We usually have 20-30 books checked out at a time. 5 books per week is nothing for a whole family.
They literally go every week and she and her husband and her kid all use it, so it would add up.
