Bored, but can't visit your local library ? Check their online site, you may be surprised ...

Our local library system has just added Hoopla* to their online services, enabling patrons to watch TV shows and movies online. It's free for 3 months; probably good publicity for the company after this is all over. They've also extended some of their caps on checking out e-books.

*I'm not familiar with Hoopla myself, and not endorsing them.

It is a lot like Netflix with lots of stuff and we get 10 movie credits per month Free. Hoopla is also available and they have partnered with HEC TV for virtual Author visits.

The county library is also doing food handouts along with diapers. They seem to be a great community asset.
