Nearest county library is almost 40 miles away. Hardly convenient.

I can live stream. I'd just have to sign up for some content. We do watch some YouTube movies bit not often. But I am usually so tired by the time I finish with the farm chores and getting my granddaughter her bath, fed and ready for bed, that I end up reading stories to her in the evening. She picks up so many more words and concepts from reading to her instead of watching TV. It's a good time for us to bond too.

As a two year old, she is the focus of my attention. My needs and interests, except for the cows, take a back seat to her needs. Hopefully, it will get better as she grows older. She'll be three in May. She also brings the crud home from her daycare school that has turned into two bouts of pneumonia for me. I should have been in the hospital but I have no one to watch her. So it is what it is.

You don’t go to the library to live stream.

You do it at home if you have a library membership. Your local library has to have signed up with a service...like Hoopla or Acorn TV. You can pay for Acorn TV but my library offers it for free for 7 days 3 times a month. All streamed from home.

You have it right. Tv and movies are at best an occasional treat. Books, serious books, from a good reader are much better.
