Too few Californians take advantage of one of the great perks of simply being a resident.

The humble library card.

At libraries across the state, you can check out millions of digital books, audiobooks and movies, get career advice, learn a language, reserve a meeting room or borrow a GoPro.

“I think we live in a world where people honestly think that they have to buy this stuff. And they don’t,” said Rivkah Sass, director of the Sacramento Public Library. “My thing is: get it from the library and then use the money to have a nice dinner.”

Here are a couple highlights of library offerings in six California cities (not all necessarily requiring a library card):

• Fresno

With Fresno’s library card, you can access Freegal, a catalog of more than eight million songs that includes all Sony Music labels. You can download up to five songs a week.
