The local library is my first choice. I think they even have e-books now, though I am not sure how that works.

Most libraries (at least in the US) use Libby for their ebooks

They don't use Overdrive anymore?

It's probably been over a decade since I've used my library accounts...

Overdrive makes Libby and seems to be their modern platform

These are just tracking and review services, like a letterboxd for books. Although I'm sure your local library does allow you to track your book history
