I love the library and here are just a few reasons why.
1) I am a complete book nerd and could never afford to buy everything that I read.
2) You can reserve books on line and they will call you when they are ready. This makes it a very quick trip to pick up books and check out.
3) You can request the library to order new books. If they get enough requests for a certain book they will buy it.
4) You can even request to be put on a waiting list for a book before it comes out.
5) I hate clutter. Once I’m done with a book I give it back and it isn’t taking up room in my house anymore.
6) I love listening to classical music while I make dinner or do work around the house. I can get a different CD every week to listen to.
7) I have access to magazines that I would never consider subscribing to due to the price. When your interests are food, photography, and home and garden you don’t really have to be concerned about being a few months or even a year behind.
8) Even if you can’t finish a book in the three week time frame you can renew online and even if you turn it in late a $1.60 fee sure beats the price of the book even at a used book store.
9) I love to listen to audio books. It makes my drive time so much more bearable. Do you know how much they cost!
10) Even though I don’t utilize the library for these things I know that these things are there: Movies, internet/computer access, meeting rooms, study rooms, book clubs, research and job search tools, classes and programs.
Warning: If you are new to the library and need a card. Go prepared. I found it harder to get a library card than a new driver’s license! They required a picture ID and a utility bill to prove that I lived in their service area.
