    Amid school closures and social distancing, finding ways to entertain and educate ourselves is hard. The New York Public Library made over 300,000 e-books available for free download to library card holders with the Libby app and iCloud Library, as well as NYPL’s own SimplyE app. There may be a waitlist for popular titles, but there are thousands of other options to choose from if that’s the case.

Once that’s done, you’ll receive notification alerts every time those fingers graze your face.
