Yeah, my wife always gives me the gentle reminder to check the library first. I let my library card lapse, but I’ll have her sometimes check books out for me before I go pirate them. We have a few friends who work in the system, and every single interaction you have with the library benefits them. The library is a wonderful place, I need to stop being lazy and just go re-register, but my wife is an enabler.
I tell anyone I can that you can check out ebooks now from libraries. After you register online, you just download an app, sign in, and get to reading. Hoopla and Libby are 2 that I use, but I’m sure there are more.
You’re still depriving the capitalists of their well deserved, hard earned money! (ಥ_ʖಥ)
If anyone is interested, there’s been an excellent episode recently on the “Behind the Bastards” podcast about Robert Maxwell and how he became a self made billionaire by inventing and fucking up modern scientific publishing with the support of British intelligence services.
Many many libraries have access to journals as well so check your local library!!
