Some libraries can even get you hooked up with social workers and local aid programs. The important thing is investigating what YOUR library can do for YOU.
my library also has museum passes, crafting lessons, girls who code, and a children's summer reading program :D
The iceberg is even deeper than depicted!
i'm working on organizing a print making program with our free makerspace, where folks also fix broken appliances and learn to make rugs and use indigo dye in traditional japanese style. i'm also planning a ceili in march and hoping to partner with our local recycling and compost center to do a program for earth day. and it's all free!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then finally MIT has this super cool repository of performances from around the world and some of them have videos https://globalshakespeares.mit.edu/
In my (unsuccessful) quest to find The Hollow Crown, I also found a few other of the histories, so here's Richard II with Sean Connery, Richard II with Ian McKellan, and a stage play of Richard III
Also, if anyone has a version of the lockdown Romeo and Juliet mentioned above or the Olivier or McKellan Richard IIIs, the current links are broken and the productions sound very cool!
I might kiss you my friend for that work. I awoke from my slumber to find that the post had become popular again and there was way too much notes attached to it for me to read them all.
