Congrats on the library card, original poster!

Been a big supporter of my local one since I was a wee tyke. Even the school library felt like my personal welcome place (mostly public schools though, post secondary was a bit less magical then). But even now, I still try to do whatever possible to show support for the libraries especially since our lovely government in the states are hostile to the idea of such a resource... That's a long winded vent for somewhere else. I love my Blockbuster for Books by golly!
The amounts of books and media at your disposal pays for the fees your library might of had when you registered for the card, unless it's generous similar to mine where if you have a local address it's paid for by city taxes. Best advice: see what your library offers in terms of digital access to services. Both Libby/Overdrive and Hoopla were ones I loved using before recently to check out new materials from the comfort of my home. Had a few books I had checked out and read all the way or partly with the sigh of relief knowing I had saved a bit of change compared to buying a copy for myself.
