That's assuming that:
a. You can get to the public library (distance, disability, or operating hours can hinder this)
b. The public library has the book you want to read (sometimes they don't have it at all, or the only copy has been lost, or the waiting list is months long)
c. The public library has the book in a format that you can read (only has it in regular print if you need large print or audio, or only has it as an audiobook if you are deaf or hard of hearing)
I think it's amazing that I now have access to thousands of large print books without having to worry about weather or transportation.
