In case you haven't been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you'll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I'm forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.

I moved to a bigger city last year and checked the library out yesterday. They have sooo much stuff. CDs, DVDs, games and all the devices you need for playback (which you can also lend). It's amazing. Once I get my stupid ID back I'm gonna rip a fuckton of CDs from there.

My library uses hoopla and I love it. Probably borrow 8-10 audiobooks a year with it. Been listening to Blood, Sweat, and Pixels the last few days
