Library Fun

We have recently joined our local library...why I didn't think to do that earlier?...

It's a great service that is FREE!  I think the last time I went to the library was in college and that was mostly to study.  So...when I was searching for a specific book..who knew they had gone all computerized on us...no more card indexes with the book location on it....

Things I learned and love about the library:
  • FREE services: computer training, knitting/crochet groups, story time and craft time for kids
  • electronic library for iPad, Kindle...
  • Availability to order books that are not currently in the library (if you are looking for something specific)
  • Check out 10 books at time
  • Have a really good selection of movies (great for trips)
  • Check out time is two weeks 
  • Online service to request and renew books...very convenient!





Just wanted to encourage everyone to participate in their local library.  One thing I learned is that community participation is critical to their funding and eligibility for grants.  It's a great source for information and it's free :)

Tip:  I brought a reusable bag (that I use for groceries) to carry my books, since you can check out so many.
