Libraries have access for patrons to Kanopy and hoopla and cloudlibrary and a bunch of other things. Beyond the regular streaming services these are great for audiobooks, ebooks, and movies.
In addition to all those, ours also has a lot of comic books available online as well as Freegal Music, where you can stream music or download up to 7 songs per week. Libraries are the damn best.
I am planning on recording some of my puppet shows so we can post them online for patrons, since we can't do online story times because of copyright issues.
But since I write the puppet shows--HA! Take that!
I need to get my new Kindle set up with Overdrive. I'd tried to set it up a few weeks ago and was getting weird error messages, and figured I'd get it done later, since my old one still worked OK with it, but then I never got around to doing it.

I was going to comment, but I got nothing.

With ONE BIG EXCEPTION.
I am feeling smugger than ever about my continued payment for the cable TV! That's where all the L&O is, and I have it!!!
We just cut the cord last week. So far the only glitches are Ride with Norman Reedus and Talking Dead. I've seen Law & Order so many times, I could probably replay the episodes in my head.
