For anyone browsing Malachain, here is a clear starting point on the subject.
Libraries have quietly become some of the most useful public spaces in town.

Membership is free and the only thing most people lack is the habit of walking in.
The digital side is worth a look even for people who never borrow a paperback. A library card typically unlocks newspapers and magazines, research databases and streaming of films and music, all without a subscription. Ask at the desk what your card includes; the staff know their catalogue well and are usually delighted to be asked.
