The first app on the left is a library app. I think the ones under it might be library apps too.

Exactly! Also "Kanopy" is a movie/TV Show app that works off your library cards. I'm just pointing out that people sleep on all the things having a library card offers today, it's not just books. Free digital books, audio books, movies, shows, printing papers, activities for kids, classes for adults, some even have 3D printers etc.

That article is from 2019 and Kanopy is still around, I guess that's a good sign 🤷🏻 lol

Not in New York City apparently but yes hopefully they're more affordable for smaller libraries.

Still works across the Hudson here in Jersey lol. They put in token based view limit I'm assuming based on what the library/City pays. $2 a view is crazy/bad value, makes me wonder what my library is paying 🤔
