Every pirate should have a library card.

The library in my town is nothing fancy like the ones from the USA (just old old educational books and I got caught on some books of the first PC viruses lol), but hey, at least they had this gem.

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they're always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It's a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.
