I'm in a fairly rural area. Our library system doesn't have much. However, just across the county line is a much more populated county with a lot more ... of everything in their library system. Turns out I can 'join' their library for $25/year. It's somewhat more convenient, because it's about an 8 minute walk from my office, and open more. The local one to my home has cut back hours. I'd like to find a way to 'support' my local library system more, but short of donating tens of thousands to them on my own, there's not much I can do. I've started to use them some more (which may help activity numbers for future budgets) but the $25/year access nets me probably 10x as much stuff.
