#libraries@mtechman Somehow, I'd never heard of most of those! Which caused me to end up on my local library's website and discover that they have a whole bunch of other stuff I was unaware of.
Thanks for the nudge!
-
@mtechman My pleasure!
Now I'm realizing I should maybe try to squeeze this table into https://jointhefediverse.net/zine somehow. Hmm. That's going to be tough.

@tehstu barely related..if your library has Kanopy, one of the free (no tickets) borrows my husband and I both really liked was Grass...

@drakakis Yes! Not every library has it, but I've got out-of-area card for Queens (NY) and it's got Kanopy!

@kamellatate @drakakis Agree! And my husband watches some good horror (I can't) on Kanopy.

Actually sticking signs like that up at libraries and such might increase Fediverse adoption!
-
@Quasit Maybe!
Personally, I think people are better off promoting their favorite communities. Helps with the "pick a server" conundrum.
Luckily, I have a tool for that as well.
If you're interested!

#libraries@mtechman The only thing - the _only_ thing I don't like about these services is the data collected by the companies that provide the services, unlike libraries which do not retain patron's borrowing records after the items are returned.

#libraries@mtechman Ooo, I made a video adjacent to this topic two weeks ago.
Also try Kanopy.
