@penpencilbrush Long live public libraries!!
Mine has access to sound/video recording studios, all sorts of creative softwares, Linda (online courses), Mango language learning, Kanopy, and a gazillions of events, talks, workshops, concerts, film screenings. And all this for free of course. They even got rid of late fees a few years ago. A real community hub serving the people.
If you don't already, use your public library! They're awesome and they need to be used to stay relevant.
