Storytel is available in a lot of countries. I recommend you check it out if you aren't in the US. It's unlimited audiobooks and matches closely to Hoopla I'm told.

Definitely grateful to have the library I do. I live in the most populated county in my state (US), so our library options are pretty robust — more than 20 physical branch locations and most of the ebook and eaudiobooks you could want. The only time usually they don't have something I want is if it's indie. They have most traditionally published (at least the ones I'm looking for!).

We call them street libraries (I think as it sounds like the same thing). Anyone can build one at their house and also lots of churches and sometimes councils also put them up in parks and things. They are like a big letter box with the top half where you can put books.( They are usually full!) and people colour and paint them so they look super cute as you drive around.

They are just that! Some of them are adorable, some of them are a bit more simple. There are a few in front of houses near me that look like castles or Tudor houses. There is one that is built from a huge tree stump. I love them.
If my HOA allowed it, I would put one in front of my townhouse, but of course that would ruin the aesthetic of the property or some crap like that. HOAs are evil.

I wonder if they would let one be built by the common room and pool. Hmmm...
