Public Library Free Digital Resourcesin Birmingham, AL

Public libraries offer free access to books, computers, internet, printing, and a growing collection of digital resources — all available with a free library card to anyone who lives, works, or attends school in the area they serve. Beyond lending books, most libraries provide free wifi and public computers, job-search and resume help, tax forms, children's programs, and free ebooks, audiobooks, and movies through apps like Libby, hoopla, and Kanopy (availability varies by library). With more than 17,000 library outlets across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, a local branch is often just a short trip away. There are no fees and no income requirements — public libraries are funded by taxes and open to everyone.
