Utilize your local public library. Reading is a great hobby and can be done for free at any local library.

You don't have to go to a library for that. Kindle and other ebook readers are dirt cheap, and you can have as many books on them as you want.

Well, my local library has not only books, but also video-games, movies, series, board games, toys, pressure washers, popcorn machines, parachutes (!!!) and even a chess club.

And magazines, via Libby. Like the New Yorker, the week, and many others.

several local libraries near me also have "maker spaces" with 3D printers,laser cutters, and other DIY stuff.
