I appreciate it even more after living in a foreign country for so many years. No English library and only a handful of English books in one of the book stores. (The same English books year after year) Going to the library is a huge treat for me! I love the library. I appreciate it even more after living in a foreign country for so many years.

I grew up in a family of book readers, my dh and I both still love to read and our kids are the same. I've been thinking lately how glad I am that especially my dd loves to read b/c I have gained much pleasure over the years from reading and don't want her to miss out on it! Plus it keeps her occupied... There have been times that between the kids, my dh and I – we have close to 100 items checked out from the library (books, cds, dvds, magazines).

There's no way I could fit Blockbuster into my budget [smile]. My library also has classes about interesting things from time to time, and it just added a free audio book download section... I don't even need to drive over to check one out. Awesome! ~Luke I check out 5 movies from my library almost every week. There’s no way I could fit Blockbuster into my budget [smile].

I have just discovered holds! It saves me gas $$ cause I don't have to go all over the county to just pick up one book I can have it delivered to *my* library for me to pick up. Great post!

I am able to search my library's data base for books & movies, place a hold and get notified by email when the items are ready for pick-up. There are over 25 branches in my county and I am able to request books to be delivered to my branch with just a click of a button! One of my favorite tools of the library is online search and holds.

This saves them from paying a ghastly price for a game and then finding that they don't really like it! I do insist that they check out a book or a magazine as well!
