Best Kept Secret

Ok, so this really isn't a secret...but it is something that I don't think people take enough advantage of. THE LIBRARY!

Did you know that you can check movies out from your local library....for Free? They even get new releases!

Did you know that you can keep books for a month at a time?

Did you know that many libraries offer story times and activities for your kids?

Did you know that you can access your library's catalog online? That way you can see if the book you want is available or if it is checked out. Many libraries even let you reserve your books/movies online.

Did you know that you can use the internet at the library for free? Don't you hate it when your computer or internet is having problems...and you are waiting for an important e-mail?

Did you know that you can check out audiobooks online? You can even download them to your computer. Our local libraries allow us to download the books and the file is left on our computer for 1 week. If you cannot listen to your audiobook in 1 week...don't worry! You can burn the book to disks, or download it to your IPOD...where it stays until you delete it! I have a hard time justifying sitting down to read a book, but I LOVE to listen to audiobooks while I clean the kitchen or fold my laundry!

It is free to get a library card...and very easy! If you don't have a library card...make it a point to go get one! How easy is that?
