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 are great but they predate communism, not everything which is good or communal/community centered is communists. The simple act of sharing and cooperating with ur geographical community isnt communist or even revolutionary its just basic human shit. I think neo liberalism and individualism and consumerism have poisoned our brains so much that we can look at something which is just human and assign to it political values that have existed for at most a couple centuries, because it has become so rare.
