You can borrow films at libraries?!
You absolutely can, yes. Some even have streaming movies.
Yeah I get the kanopy streaming service through my local library. It's awesome.
I don't know why more people don't know about these. For anyone reading, look up the apps Kanopy, Libby and Hoopla.
Streaming movies are not even close to things libraries can offer. My wife is working on opening a new branch in another part of town where there are a lot of poor and homeless people. There will be a room with a sign-up sheet. One person at a time and a lockable door from the inside. It will contain a shower, a washer and a dryer. Anyone can sign up for free.
My wife listens to audiobooks almost every day and she gets all of them through the library. She hasn't paid for an audiobook in years.
At my local library, you can borrow wii games!
The teen room at my wife's library has a PS4 and an XBox (not sure which one) for teens to play as long as they want. The TV it's on is huge. The game library isn't massive, but it's respectable.
Films, console games, power tools, board games, recreation rooms, 3D printer, sowing machines, ebooks, audio books...
