Finally, please remember to frequent your local library and hold on to your library card. Even as an adult, it is an awesome resource. You can borrow books, comics, graphic novels, manga, movies, and video games.
We can also make all of our reservations online from a network of libraries. Our local library doesn’t have that uncommon 1984 graphic novel that we were interested in. The library three towns over has it and can ship it to our local one for pickup!
Also, some library cards come with free streaming apps and subscriptions to online services.
A very cool resource that some folks should use more often, are overlooked, or forgotten.
