I mean think about it.

You just need a library card (usually free if not always) and you can get anything a library offers for free with no fees. This use to be just movies, books, music CDs (think early 2000's and 1990's but now you can even get new video games for free. (physical copies)

it's a collective resource for a lot of media based products. Most countries, (if not all) have and tend to support public libraries.

but is this a good communism service. when looking at communist principles? What does the community think?

Libraries could easily be adapted to fit Communism, most of the ground work is already set up, you might have to make some changes for it to work under communism as defined.

While they might not be communism they do share a lot of similar principles to communism. While their might not be a lot of specific production, collective ownership is also an important key to communism, which libraries share.

One person can borrow a copy of a book and then months later another person could get that same copy in their own household.
