Feeling the weight of digital burnout, I started searching for Netflix and Spotify alternatives—something beyond algorithm-driven recommendations and endless scrolling. I wanted to embrace physical media like CDs and DVDs but without accumulating a ton of stuff. That’s when I turned to library life.
In this video, I visit two libraries, explore their library resources, and do a full library haul of books, games, and music. Stepping away from streaming has been a refreshing shift toward digital minimalism, letting me enjoy borrowing books and discovering new media without the longterm clutter. It’s a bit of a digital detox, a step toward digital decluttering, and a reminder that we don’t always need to rely on digital subscriptions to enjoy great content. If you’re a library lover looking for new ways to engage with your local library, or maybe you need a reminder, this one's for you.
