They are great! However, what looks like a couple of books here and there added up to hundreds of dollars a year!
Your public library has all the latest books and movies that you can check-out for free. What’s more, some libraries have musical instruments, telescopes, and other science tools, such as microscopes, binoculars, and globes on loan. Have a home DIY project you need to finish? Some libraries have tool lending libraries. Public libraries even have board games and puzzles for you to play. Almost all libraries have free Wi-Fi.
