The Thousands

Remember those things called libraries? They’re a little like google scholar, but real. Oh, and they actually work.

Well, turns out they’ve actually got some pros ; besides weird red brick architecture, local government funding, smelly elderly folks and making your uni essays sound vaguely intelligent that is. Did you know they have DVDs? And not just beaten up old copies of ‘To Kill A Mocking Bird’ and ‘The Godfather’, but like good quality recently released flicks.

But you’re thinking… that’s what Blockbuster is for. Well, your local library has this system right, it’s called ‘borrowing’. On the premise of goodwill (with the potential wrath of your local librarian – bats will fly out of her ass at you, terrifying), you can beat those franchised video store monsters and loan your favourite Wes Anderson flick for free.

So hey, free DVDs from your local library might not be the most action packed adventure you’ll ever have. But that’s what the extra cash in your back pocket is for.
