The library is still free, and probably has access to a lot of streaming. If your local one doesn’t, a lot of large libraries will let you sign up for a card even if you don’t live nearby if you just show up in person to sign up. Although some don’t even require that anymore due to COVID precautions.
I live 2 blocks from my local library and I absolutely love it. I take my 2 year old daughter every week. She’ll play in the activity room, we’ll go to a story time and check out 6-7 books for the week. I’ll peruse the video game section, check out a movie if they have something on my to watch list. I haven’t gotten to use their maker space yet but I’m itching to. They also offer streaming, ebooks and audiobooks through Libby and Hoopla. 11/10 would recommend the library.
Don't forget Kanopy for even more streaming options with your library card!
Kanopy is such a gem, so much good stuff.
I love the libraries in my area because they're well-funded and pretty much always accept requests for new content (books, movies, etc). If there's a new book and they don't have it, I can ask them to order it and it'll usually be available within a week.
For whatever reason my local library only stocks books. I tried donating some movies and they said they don't take them. Weird.
