How/Where to read for free
I’m opening up this question for all :)
the only way I know is going to a library
any other ways?

Borrowing books from friends and family can be a way of free reading, or doing a 'book swap' with people (either people you know or sometimes these happen online), and on reading apps or online reading sites or even places like Google play store, there's often a selection of free books. Although not free, charity shops sell significantly reduced books (my local one sells books for 50p), and there are many second hand sites that sell books at reduced prices. If you're not specifically looking only for books, you can read non-fiction articles for free across many sites, and there are various sites you can read fiction stories (often fanfiction, but many are the same length as actual novels and well written) like 'archive of our own (ao3)'. Hopefully some of that was useful. 📚
Thank you :)
@conscientiousPeach2999 I will add online books through the library. This may vary by country, but sometimes even if you do not have a local library that offers this you can access another one for free further away.
Social media neighbourhood sites - buy nothing groups or sometimes in buy/sell book groups some people will give books away.
Neighbourhood little libraries - my neighbourhood actually has multiple! A weatherproofed box is set up like an old newspaper stand and people can leave a book or take a book.
There are apps to download books as well
