I'm guessing checking out books, but do you use a particular service like libby or hoopla? Do you check out museum passes or watch movies? Do you frequent any programs they offer? How do you like to use the library?

For me, Libby, mostly for audiobooks. For my young kids, we check out physical books, and sometimes go to kids’ events. I find the children’s librarians have very helpful recommendations. I also like to go with a laptop sometimes to get work done, as it’s less distracting than being home. I always mean to check out museum passes, but often they’re out by the time I think to check. I am also fortunate to be in a city where I can get free access as a resident to some of the major museums, so it hasn’t been as critical.

Libby for ebooks (God I miss overdrive, libby sucks), Hoopla for comics (the selection could be better), Kanopy for streaming movies and TV (great selection of obscure and foreign films).

I love libraries but rarely physically go to one because I'm too darn lazy.
