Question 2: What kind of freebies do those cards offer you?
Question 3:What would you do with a FREE card, no interest rate, and very few limitations?
I'll let you answer the questions later. First, this:
I've posted before about how much I love local libraries and the free resources they offer. I have been listening to audiobooks via my library and Overdrive Media. Thanks to that, I was able to get rid of my Audible membership to give my budget some breathing room. What I didn't know myself until I got here to Iowa is just how much libraries have to offer.
If you have a membership at your local library, please go to their online site and look for the following streaming and digital resources you may have been missing out on:
- Hoopla Digital
- Free music (I've seen Freegal and RB Digital as 2 resources. Your library might have something different.)
- Tumble eBooks for kids
- Digital learning tutorials
- Zinio and/or RB Digital
- One Click Digital
**Those links are for reference only. You should use your free library access if you sign up for any of them.**
I discovered Hoopla and almost lost my mind. For someone who hasn't owned a television for several years, I was so happy to find that I could watch TV shows and movies via a library resource. Listen, I'm not talking stodgy old faded black and white shows from from back when TVs had rabbit ears and theaters featured newsreels. The first movie I watched on Hoopla was Odd Thomas and Freakonomics. So far, I have bookmarked/favorited a few TV shows and some Agatha Christie movies and series.
When I saw this during a Hoopla search, I almost wept:
My beloved Zora!
So, in spite of all the worst that the internet supplies is balanced out by the access to so much that is beautiful.
If you have not been using your library - maybe because you're not a "book perrson", or you don't have time... - I suggest you start.
Peace
