I recently joined the local library because it's now a 5 minutes walk from my new apartment. The obvious benefits of joining a library and using it is to borrow books for free. However, I did not realize that libraries provide much more for their communities.
I'm guessing every library is different, but mine has started a new program where you can 'check out' a museum pass for ten popular museums in the city. The museum admission fee is waived with this pass.
Also, this week I picked a flyer that advertised free admission to a history museum that is across the street on the opening day of a new exhibit. On that day, if you RSVP, you may also attend a happy hour sponsored by local restaurants. The happy hour is free and will have beer, wine, and appetizers.
Joining the library has been paying off greatly so far.
