so no more words...just a quick tour of one our most favorite places to visit - our local library! i am still amazed at how many people do not go to their library on a regular basis.
besides the shelves.....
and shelves of books that you can get for FREE
think about the hundreds of dollars you save by not buying books that once you bring them home - you regret buying!
oh and MUSIC - tons of cds that you can use to fill your itunes library without costing you a cent!
and all the free events - yoga, gardening classes, oodles of kid programs, lectures...you name it
open spaces to run (or rather walk quickly) our library tolerates some noise which is nice b/c it is hard to keep little kids from squealing!
community bulletin boards - free advertising!
a place to bring the stuff you don't want to toss but can't figure out what to do with them - esp glasses and cell phones!!! all while helping a great charitable cause
seriously - if you haven't visited your local library in a while - what are you doing? get over there and check it out. its not what you remember as a kid - its so much better!!
Hi there! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI am really lucky to live in the Boston area, and the library system here is so awesome. The neatest thing, (and having grown up in a rural area, this blows me away), is that there are nearly 40 branches that are all connected. Members can go online, request an item at any branch, and have it delivered to the branch nearest you. For free. It is so crazy to have that much information at your finger tips.
Have a great day!
