I've seen posts from several members lamenting libraries are closed due to Covid19. I can understand the withdrawal pains of nothing to read. I just discovered my local library is encouraging people to check out ebooks and digital audiobooks. Maybe your local library has similar resources?

My library is allowing people to check out books from the brick and mortar building. You check them out online or by phone and then get an appointment time to drive up and they bring the books to you! Plus they do have online books you can check out plus they've created a digital library card for those who didn't have a card to check out books online.
Very nice! I went and dropped all our books off at the drive up return box even though nothing is due until May 11th.

We even have temporary digital library cards that are just for now, for people who don’t have a card yet.

Some of the local libraries are even having story times and book clubs over zoom.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
