Audiobooks as well. My wife only ever listens to audiobooks she can stream from the library and she has yet to run out of things to listen to after years of doing so.
Libraries are less likely to do movie streaming because the service costs them a lot more, but it’s definitely worth checking.
Sadly, though, this may not be helpful for much longer.
Some films are beginning to completely forego physical release in favor of digital only, and we’re veering back towards “You need a dedicated set-top box for movies” territory with computers and game consoles trying to do away with disc drives.
Did you guys know that your local public Library has DVDs?
They probably have a streaming service too.
Mine does.
You can digitally “lend” a movie for a week and stream it once during that time. It’s free, but more cumbersome than the high seas.
Don’t you mean “borrow”?
They do.
Yes.

That’s right! Some do have that service.
There’s also tons of movies and TV shows on the Internet Archive because there’s absolutely no content moderation there.
It will take you a lot of browsing because their search function sucks, but you will find a lot of things to watch.
Just do it soon because that’s going to come back to bite them in the ass.
Dvd is SD. They may have BD’s, though.
Yeah they have both. Depends on what people donate.

Yeah I know. 😓
I just read LG has stopped manufacturing blueray players. Meaning, soon, the dvds/bluerays at your local library will be defunct :(
