Consumer Reports "...My library lends Roku devices preloaded with streaming services like Amazon, Netflix, HBO, BritBox, Hulu, ESPN, Disney+, and more free of charge..."
A new trend with libraries can save cord cutters big money!
The latest Consumer Reports December issue shined the spotlight on an exciting new money-saving trend for cord-cutters.
Apparently, certain libraries in the U.S.A. and Canada are now lending out streaming sticks loaded with free paid apps to let you watch a ton of content free.
This is a great way to try paid streaming services without the expensive monthly fees.
Not all public libraries have the resources to purchase streaming devices, load them with apps and provide them to load out. Here's one example of a library in Elmsford, New York with a Population of 5,355 that has 3 Rokus and 7 Fire Sticks available to loan out.
And with the cost of streaming going higher each year, the waiting list to check out one of these devices may be fairly long, especially if you live in a larger city.
To determine if your library participates in this program, simply search Google using the search term: "library near me." Then give your local library a call to see if they have free streaming devices available to check out.
While lending out fully loaded streaming devices is still relatively new, if it becomes more popular, streaming companies may try to sue to put an end to it. So enjoy it while it lasts. Because anything too good to be true, usually is and won't last very long.
