Your local library likely uses hoopla, Libby, overdrive, or any of the myriad other apps Library content. Music, movies, audiobooks, e-books, and more.
I have not done a deep dive into the other services, but unfortunately overdrive is kind of shitty. Either way, your library might use it
My local library uses CloudLibrary, which doesn’t actually support ebook readers. It forces you to install an app and read from your phone. I literally have a card in a neighboring town, just to have Libby access on my Kobo e-reader.
Every time I go in to my local library, I make a point of mentioning that CloudLibrary doesn’t work on e-readers, in the hopes that they’ll consider switching to Libby instead.
I have largely avoided this problem by focusing on audiobooks where possible. Still, it makes me put off reading things I want to read in the hopes an audiobook comes out. It’s annoying for sure

Kanopy is a good one, great way to watch free movies. Lots of classics as well as some newer stuff.
