My library gives me access to the streaming service Kanopy which has a large number of titles. It includes a lot of criterion titles and its fair share of 70s cinema. The TV app can be a bit clunky, but for a free service I can’t complain.
The public library was my best friend in middle school, as I rented movies from them a lot espically movies that I didn't get a chance to watch in the theater. It was a better alternative than Redbox or even iTunes. Even when I got my first 4K TV, I started to request that they get the 4K copy, and most times, I was able to preview the 4K picture quality it was even better once I got my Dolby Atmos system.
I love public libraries. They were a refuge for me when I was a kid in the 70s. I couldn't believe there was a place in my rural hometown that let me borrow books. The same is true today with videos. I have borrowed a number of titles from my local library over the years. It is a cool way to discover new videos to watch without having to buy the disc. I signed up for Kanopy, and it is easy to use. They keep adding new titles every month. Public libraries are the unsung heroes in our Democracy.
And many libraries also offer the Freegal music download and streaming service.
Great topic. I like to use my public library to check out titles not on streaming services to see if I enjoy them enough purchase later.

A good reminder, we all needed. Thank you Jeff.
